Dr. Ugur Genc – Senior Conservator & Scienziato del patrimonio
Dr. Ugur Genc è un conservatore senior con oltre due decenni di esperienza, dedicato a ridefinire la conservazione non solo come un mestiere tecnico, but as a discipline of intellectual and scientific leadership. Sfidare la tradizione “officina” mentalità, Dr. Genc advocates that conservation laboratories must be treated as scientific research hubs, una posizione che ha mantenuto nonostante gli approcci statici spesso riscontrati in campo.
Leadership metodologica e progettazione dell'autenticità
Un momento cruciale della sua carriera, the “Catena del corno d'oro” project, era molto più di uno studio; it was a complex verification study and a pioneer example of contextual restoration, dove ha integrato frammenti provenienti da quattro diversi musei in un'esposizione olistica. Già 2012, he designed “tre versioni di autenticità” for a ship’s anchor and utilized 3D-printed replicas to showcase the transformation of a bronze artifact, establishing his leadership in managing authenticity through advanced methodologies.

Dall'indagine forense al policy making
In 2011, Dr. Genc pioneered Conservazione forense in the region by utilizing CT-scanning technology on a historical glove to extract anthropological data, trattando effettivamente l'oggetto come a “testimone” piuttosto che una semplice reliquia. This journey—from forensic detective to strategic visionary—reached its peak with his PhD research on Authenticity Methodologies. This scientific foundation now informs his current role as a Policy Maker at Dubai Culture and Arts Authority.

Extended Authority and Global Vision
Defining the conservator as a “Preventive Physician” of heritage, Dr. Genc argues that this role must extend from the “micro” of material analysis to the “macro” of strategic boardroom decisions. With experience ranging from consultancy for TRT Documentaries to coordinating international EU projects, he demands a seat at the design table, ensuring that the conservator’s voice is the final authority in exhibition policies. Based in Dubai since 2024, continua a plasmare il futuro del patrimonio globale attraverso la scienza, etica, e una richiesta di autorità istituzionale.
