Event Overview:
THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL TRAINING ON GEOMATICS INNOVATIONS IN ARCHEOLOGY AND HERITAGE is an event dedicated to exploring geomatics technologies for the preservation and management of cultural heritage. Organized by AGPA, it brings together international experts for conferences, practical workshops, and field demonstrations at historical sites in Rabat and Meknès. The goal is to promote the use of drones, GIS, photogrammetry, and BIM for the conservation and valorization of archaeological sites. It is a unique opportunity to share knowledge and encourage innovation in this field.
Context and Relevance:
Geomatics, as an interdisciplinary field, is a strategic lever for the documentation, management, and preservation of cultural and archaeological heritage. Recent technological advancements, particularly in remote sensing, digital mapping, and spatial analysis, open innovative perspectives for the exploration, conservation, and valorization of this heritage.
In this context, this first international training aims to unite key players in the sector, facilitate in-depth exchange of expertise, disseminate cutting-edge knowledge, and stimulate the development of technological solutions tailored to the challenges of research and heritage management.
Event Objectives:
- Promote Knowledge Exchange: Create a space for dialogue between researchers, practitioners, and students on best practices and the latest innovations in geomatics applied to archaeology and heritage site management.
- Encourage Collaboration: Stimulate interdisciplinary and international partnerships for the development of innovative projects in the heritage field.
