Heritage As Process

The second edition of the National Conference of the PhD in Heritage Science is proposed as the natural continuation of a collective path aimed at consolidating the transdisciplinary dialogue between researchers, PhD students and PhDs from any university or institution, pertaining to the many souls of Heritage Science.

If the first edition had the merit of stimulating a profound reflection on the figure of the researcher himself and on the institutional challenges of the sector, this second appointment intends to shift the focus to cultural heritage understood as a process in continuous evolution.

Through this paradigm, the conference will explore the trajectories of tangible and intangible heritage understood as a dynamic organism of which we study the behavior (Transformation) and the interaction with environment, community and matter (Knowledge), in order to transmit this knowledge to future generations through documentary, digital data or direct skills (Transmission).

The conference is organised by the Sapienza University of Rome and will take place in hybrid mode (both in person and online) over three days, from 23 to 25 February 2027, at the University of Naples Federico II.
