Overview
At the same time, the Analysis and Management of Cultural Heritage (AMCH) programme of the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca provides its students with both a theoretical, methodological and applicative training, disciplinary as well as interdisciplinary, and a set of competencies specifically aimed at the professional practices in the fields of cultural heritage.
The research based AMCH track is highly interdisciplinary. Alongside the consolidation and development of the traditional methodologies used in the fields related to cultural heritage as well as for the analysis of past and present cultural phenomena, processes, activities, and productions (such as Archaeology, History, Art History, Museology, Philosophy, etc.), the AMCH track proposes, on the one hand, the interdisciplinary expansion and integration of the range of methodologies and tools to be adopted (such as Cultural Heritage Law, Management, Economy, Economy of Culture, etc.); on the other hand, the track proposes a grafting, on these, of management and organizational skills and tools, also oriented by innovative methodologies.
