SUNRISE is a SIFET summer school in cooperation with ISPRS. It will involve international students and professional surveyors with different backgrounds (e.g. archaeologists, architects, engineers, etc.) for the documentation of an archaeological site and the surrounding environment with several geomatics techniques.

The main objective is to provide the participants with a general overview of the state of the art of the different geomatics techniques that can be used for the documentation of both the Cultural Heritage (emerged and submerged) and the environment in which it is located, constituting the coastal heritage.

The summer school activities will foresee both interactive lectures, fieldwork activities, and data processing and interpretation with the involved participants. They will be divided into working groups on the basis of their background; each group will work on a specific topic during the week of the summer school starting from the data acquisition and processing, toward their use for different purposes.

The works of the participants will then be collected in a single report that will be published online and will be freely available to the public in order to disseminate the results obtained by the summer school.
