The research team has multidisciplinary competences in the areas of Architecture, History, World Heritage, Technology, Engineering and IT, and brings together the necessary skills to elaborate the various foreseen tasks. It also includes national and international experts with a high-profile curriculum, knowledge of Siza’s work, and experience in World Heritage. In a participatory based strategy, the inventory will have the collaboration of national and international organizations.
