Mapping Cultural Property Protection Training for Military Personnel

Mapping Cultural Property Protection Training for Military Personnel
The purpose of the study is to understand the provision of Cultural Property Protection (CPP) training to military personnel, in particular to identify areas of best practice and areas of potential improvement.

The study is being conducted by Gena Sturgon on behalf of ICCROM's flagship programme - First Aid and Resilience for Cultural Heritage in Times of Crisis (FAR) .You have been selected to take part in this questionnaire survey because you have knowledge of CPP training and practice. Your participation in the survey is entirely voluntary, and you can opt out at any stage by closing and exiting the browser.

If you are happy to take part, please answer the following questions relating to CPP training for military personnel. Your answers will help us to better understand what kind of training is currently offered, what works well, and how this can be enhanced. The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Your answers will be treated confidentially and the information you provide will be kept anonymous in any research outputs/publications. Your data will be held on secure servers and only accessed by the lead researcher and ICCROM research team via password protected computers. All data will be deleted by 22 November 2029. The project has been reviewed and approved through a formal Research Ethics review process.

For further information, or if you have any queries, please contact the lead researcher Gena Sturgon at sturgong@uni.coventry.ac.uk. If you have any concerns that cannot be resolved through the lead researcher, please contact Aparna Tandon at aparna.tandon@iccrom.org
