Risk Manager’s European skills and competences profile

This Project Result is being designed to respond to the strategic need of VET providers (including the ones in the partnership) to change their curriculum related to different kinds of Cultural Heritage professionals, providing trainees with the necessary levels of skills and competencies required by the job market.

The responsible partner for this Work Package was the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ITAM) of the Czech Republic.

ITAM is a part of The Czech Academy of Science. It works on scientific research in the field of solid phase mechanics, oriented particularly on micromechanics, biomechanics of solids, statistical dynamics of systems and media, nonlinear mechanics of systems, processes of failure of materials, mechanics of multifunctional materials, mechanics of particular media, and computer and numerical mechanics.

The research is also concerned with the economic assessment of structures, buildings, etc. incl. proposals for new methodologies for special-purpose buildings and structures and the assessment of environmental and territorial effects, particularly in the safeguarding and evaluation of historical buildings and settlements.

Since 2000 the Institute has been supported by a grant from the European Commission as a “Centre of Excellence” responsible for the project ARCCHIP (Advanced Research Centre for the Cultural Heritage Interdisciplinary Project).
