PhD Program in Historical studies
Research
Research in the field of cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible, plays a much more important role today than in the past. Thanks to the information that can be obtained through all the traditional forms of research in the most diverse humanistic fields (arts, philosophy, religion, history, etc.), we are able to produce not only traditional scientific products, but also content that can be used by a wide audience and can be processed in digital format. The hybridisation of humanistic knowledge and the digital world gives rise to new opportunities for in-depth study, valorisation and dissemination of historical and cultural heritage.
