Master's in Industrial and Scientific Heritage

Connecting the past and present through industrial and scientific heritage.

Industrial and Scientific Heritage encompasses both tangible and intangible remains that testify to the history, evolution, and contributions of industrial and scientific activities over time. This includes industrial facilities, equipment, documents, artifacts, technologies, scientific knowledge, and production techniques that hold significant historical, cultural, social, economic, and scientific value. These elements should be thoroughly valued and studied.

The Master's in Industrial and Scientific Heritage provides an opportunity to explore and analyze the connections between the past and present, focusing on the preservation, interpretation, and management of this unique heritage.
