During two years, seven countries (Argentina, Croatia, France, Mexico, Morocco, Portugal and Spain) are going to work in the implementation of multidisciplinary core modules in the field of restoration and valorisation of cultural heritage. After a comparative survey in cultural policies for each partner, various theoretical and practical core modules will be developed to: 
 • Local juniors graduated 
 • Local students 
 • Local professionals 
This programme will be available through an e-learning platform for the targets mentioned above. Thus, this project will participate to the promotion of new technologies in these areas.
