Culture and Society

We see cultural heritage as a key resource for society that must be preserved and developed. Cultural heritage is embedded in society. It locates us in space and time and can be a key driver for shaping a sustainable and inclusive future. We explore this potential by analysing and contextualising the changing values and traditions associated with cultural heritage. Using interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research approaches, we develop preservation and development strategies and create new participatory and inclusive approaches.

• Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research approaches from conservation-restoration, archaeology, architecture, art and art history, as well as design and social sciences
• Processing of estates and collection histories
• Development of fundamentals, preservation strategies and development scenarios
• Development of participatory and inclusive formats
