SUMMARY:FORTIFICATIONS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST
DESCRIPTION:International Conference – April 15th\, 16th\, 17th\, 2027Universitat Politècnica de València\, Spain \n\n\n\nFORTMED is an International Conference dedicated to the study\, analysis\, and dissemination of Mediterranean fortifications\, as well as those developed in overseas territories (Cuba\, Puerto Rico\, the Philippines\, Panama\, Peru\, etc.)\, as a result of the expansion of construction models\, defensive strategies\, and technical knowledge. \n\n\n\nThe main objective of FORTMED is to stimulate the exchange of current research and to promote the sharing of results in order to contribute to a better understanding\, valorisation\, conservation\, management\, and sustainable use of fortified Cultural Heritage. In this context\, the dissemination of research outcomes plays a fundamental role. \n\n\n\nThe conference adopts an interdisciplinary approach\, bringing together architects\, building engineers\, engineers\, archaeologists\, historians\, geographers\, geologists\, cartographers\, experts in design\, restoration and architectural history\, as well as specialists in cultural heritage tourism\, communication\, and heritage management. The aim is to foster the development of a collaborative\, integrated\, and up-to-date perspective that advances research in this field to the highest level. \n\n\n\nOn the occasion of this 10th edition\, FORTMED will be held in Valencia\, April 15th\, 16th and 17th 2027 at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Edificación of the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain). \n\n\n\nMain Publication\n\n\n\nThe main publication of FORTMED is the series DEFENSIVE ARCHITECTURE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN\, which currently comprises 24 volumes gathering the contributions selected by the Scientific Committee through a double-blind peer review process in the different editions of the Conference. \n\n\n\nThe series is published in open access under a Creative Commons CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license (ISSN 2792-5633). \n\n\n\nThematic Areas\n\n\n\nTopic 1. Historical and Documentary ResearchHistorical cartography. Archives. Treatises. History of construction techniques. Biographies (Maqueda\, Antonelli\, Vespasiano Gonzaga\, Acuña\, Barbarroja\, Escrivá\, Fratin\, Cermeño\, etc.). \n\n\n\nTopic 2. Theoretical ConceptsMilitary engineering. Trace italienne and early modern defensive systems. New concepts. New forms of territorial defence. The construction of “defensive shields”. Artillery. Utopian projects. \n\n\n\nTopic 3. Research on Built HeritageArchitectural heritage. Studies\, knowledge\, and dissemination. Castles\, towers\, fortresses\, bunkers\, batteries\, etc. Preliminary studies. Maintenance and conservation interventions in architectural heritage. \n\n\n\nTopic 4. Geomaterial CharacterisationMineralogical\, geochemical\, and physical analysis. Study of decay processes. Archaeometric research (historical and conservation-oriented). Restoration proposals. Relationships between the physical and technical properties of construction materials and their use: differences and similarities across the Mediterranean. \n\n\n\nTopic 5. Digital HeritageDigital surveying\, from 3D laser scanning to terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry. Advanced 3D modelling. Evolution of graphic representation. Digital reconstructions. Virtual reality and augmented reality. \n\n\n\nTopic 6. Cultural Heritage and ManagementCultural landscapes. Participatory management systems. Cultural management and tourism. Interpretation and valorisation of heritage assets. \n\n\n\nTopic 7. MiscellanyA collection of topics not included in the previous areas but relevant to the main theme of the Conference. \n\n\n\n🔗 https://www.fortmed.eu \n\n\n\nFORTIFICATIONS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST\n\n\n\nInternational Conference – April 15th\, 16th\, 17th\, 2027Universitat Politècnica de València\, Spain \n\n\n\nThe Organising Committee of FORTMED 2027_Valencia invites all academics and professionals interested in the debate on MEDITERRANEAN FORTIFICATIONS to submit their contributions to the Conference. \n\n\n\nSubmission Process\n\n\n\nParticipation takes place in two phases\, each subject to review: \n\n\n\nPhase I: submission of an abstract\n\n\n\nPhase II: preparation of a full paper or short paper\n\n\n\nPublication\n\n\n\nAll papers submitted to the 2027 edition and accepted following a double-blind peer review process will be published in the Conference Proceedings (with ISBN) and will form part of the series Defensive Architecture of the Mediterranean (ISSN: 2792-5633). \n\n\n\nFORTMED publishes all accepted papers in both print and digital formats (open access). \n\n\n\nFees and Conditions\n\n\n\nThe inclusion of papers in the publication is subject to the payment of the early or standard registration fee by at least one of the authors.\n\n\n\nConference registration includes the publication of the paper in the digital edition.\n\n\n\nIf the printed version of the Proceedings is requested\, its additional cost must be paid together with the registration fee\, as specified in the Registration Fees section.\n\n\n\nImportant Notice\n\n\n\nPapers submitted after the deadline will NOT be included in the Conference Proceedings.Likewise\, late registrations will not allow the inclusion of papers in the final publication.
