Main Content

  • A brief text (max. 200 words) about the types of heritage you're interested in (e.g., tangible, digital, landscapes, built, etc.), including your motivation
  • Photos from past or current "heritage experiences" related to research projects, tasks, or work experience
  • If you have published an article or written a notable paper, feel free to include the online link (for the paper) or a strong abstract
  • Additional photos, sketches, etc., that relate to your education and provide an overview of your competencies and skills.

If you want, you can add details that reflect who you are beyond your work, such as key skills (software, languages, etc.), hobbies and interests, photos or reflections from meaningful trips.

Keep it focused, professional, and personal—this is your chance to showcase both your work and your personality.
