In Spring 2024 four students were selected to be a part of exchange/academic visits to University of Toulouse, France and University of York, UK.
Centre for Heritage Conservation (CHC) at the CEPT Research and Development Foundation (CRDF) is a robust resource for the program which provides students an insight into its advisory and research activities. It also organizes open lectures and discussions that expose the students to the current conservation discourses.
