Dobitnici nagrade "Zvonimir Wyroubal" za 2013. godinu

Nagradu "Zvonimir Wyroubal" za najbolje predavanje dobio je Vedran Kundić s Odsjeka za konzervaciju-restauraciju Umjetničke akademije u Splitu (UMAS). Vedranovo je izlaganje bilo naslovljeno "Izrada replike kamenog pluteja iz crkve sv. Petra Velikog u Dubrovniku". Drugi po broju glasova u toj kategoriji bili su Marta Stanić i Neven Peko (Odsjek za umjetnost i restauraciju, Sveučilište u Dubrovniku / OZUR), dok je Petra Perlain (UMAS) bila treća.

Nagrada za najbolji poster pripala je Moniki Lolić (OZUR) za poster "Svojstva gradbenih materijala i tehnologija izrade polimentne pozlate na drvu".

Nagrada "Zvonimir Wyroubal" ove se godine dodjeljivala u samo dvije kategorije, za najbolje predavanje i najbolji poster. Plakete su izradili studenti Odsjeka za umjetnost i restauraciju Sveučilišta u Dubrovniku pod mentorskim vodstvom profesorice Nađe Lučić, a prema dizajnu umjetnika Vedrana Perkova. Dubrovčani su ponudili nešto drugačije rješenje od prošlogodišnjeg, izradivši plaketu od furniranog drva. Brojni sponzori pobrinuli su se da nitko od studenata ne ode kući praznih ruku.

Osvrt na 10. konferenciju u Universitasu, listu splitskoga sveučilišta

U 43. broju Universitasa objavljen je članak splitske studentice Nives Mijić "Deseti susret studenata konzervacije-restauracije". Nives ističe da je ovogodišnja konferencija nastavila  tradiciju povezivanja studenata konzervacije-restauracije na njihovom putu da postanu kvalitetni stručnjaci. "Studenti su uspješno razmijenili znanja i iskustva u struci, složivši se da veću važnost treba posvetiti  senzibiliziranju šire javnosti za probleme očuvanja baštine, ali i prezentiranju rada konzervatora-restauratora," zaključuje.
