All,
Please see the attached announcement for a Master Course in Structural Analysis of Monuments and Historical Constructions. The course would be taught in Portugal, however, scholarships of up to 13,000 Euro are available for interested students. Historically, students from the United States are under-represented, so scholarships to University of Illinois students should be available!
For more details, visit their website at http://www.msc-sahc.org/, or see the attached leaflet.
