Description of KEIKO’s activity (from the Statute of “KEIKO Cultural Association”)

“The association pursues, on a non-profit basis, civic, solidarity and socially useful purposes through the exercise, exclusively or principally, of the following activities of general interest:

- The promotion of scientific knowledge, mainly in the sector of construction science;

- The defense of the historical, cultural and identity value of the historic Italian building heritage.”

This activities are carried out in the organization of an International Summer School on Historic Masonry Structures (HIMASS) and recently in the preparation, with the group of partner International University Institutions with which KEIKO collaborates, of a funding application regarding a possible expansion of the Summer School experience in an International Joint Master funded by the European Community.

The International Summer School on Historic Masonry Structures (HIMASS) is an educational initiative supported by academic institutions, including Roma Tre University, the Polytechnic of Madrid, the University of Salerno and the University of Sannio, as well as by the Region Lazio, by the Municipalities involved in the case studies from time to time and materially organized by the non-profit association KEIKO ets. The annual program is designed to bring together doctoral students and experts from all over the world, involved in various capacities in the conservation of historic masonry structures.
