Research stay in Florence as part of the HEPHAESTUS project

Assistant Dora Horvat was on the research stay in Florence during October 2026 as part of the international project HEPHAESTUS (HORIZON-MSCA-2023-SE-01). During the research stay, collaboration was established with researchers at the DARWIN Laboratory in Florence, focusing on the study of Dubrovnik's fortifications and the exchange of knowledge and research approaches related to the study and documentation of architectural heritage.

The stay also included research on the scholarly literature and resources at the library of the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut, as well as fieldwork and visits to museums, art collections, cultural and historical monuments in Florence.

The research stay was carried out within the framework of the HEPHAESTUS project's international staff exchange programme, which focuses on the research, documentation, preservation, and valorisation of European architectural and cultural heritage.
