Heritage and global challenges
Heritage is engagement with the past in the present. Heritage is, therefore, entangled in, and crucial for a deeper understanding of some of the most important contemporary global challenges: Migration, integration, conflict and cultural destruction, climate change and adaptation to rapid and major technological changes.
HEI: Heritage Experience Initiative aims at developing critical heritage research in close cooperation with the heritage sector and will experiment with new teaching models.
Studies
HEI aims at an integration of teaching and research, where learning is enriched through project-based, work-life anchored experiences and research is driven by teaching.
