One of the main objectives of the DAStU is to expand and improve the research spaces available to young people, including in terms of the research training courses on offer (PhD courses). As such, a significant portion of the resources available have been earmarked for increasing the number of PhD scholarships offered.

The strategy adopted here is that of anticipating the recruitment procedures by completing them all within the first two years of the project.
The aim is ultimately to create possible synergies and collaborations on research topics and methodologies and to converge on some in-depth seminar initiatives to be planned jointly.

Nine themes have been selected, with nine PhD scholarships awarded:

CBA PhD Programme
– The development of innovative programmes for the conservation of diffuse architectural heritage in inner areas
– For an inventory of the practices for the conservation and reuse of architectural heritage in fragile areas
– Cultural landscape and alternative agriculture: knowledge collection tools to support new safeguarding and enhancement strategies for the territory, production and training

PAUI PhD Programme
– Territorial fragility in the buffer zones of Italian UNESCO sites – Italian Monuments: lost and found. Rethinking memorial artifacts to recover, through design, weak urban and rural environments.
– Decline and redemption of productive landscapes. Intervention strategies for architectural and urban design in fragile landscapes

UPDP PhD Programme
– The effects of Cohesion policy on socio-economic territorial fragilities. Institutions, government quality and regional growth
– Digitizing Strategies for Enhancing Heritage and Cultural Landscape in Fragile Areas
– Between metropolitan areas and inner peripheries: the fragility of average medium size cities
