Objective: The International Landscape School is an on-field interdisciplinary research experience promoted by the UniBg PhD Program in Landscape Studies for Global and Local Challenges and addressed to 20 PhD students. The aim is to integrate geographical and historical theories, methods, and tools with other disciplines to reflect on landscape as a complex and trans-scale concept with a focus on specific case studies considered as “research patch”: the Astino Valley EU Landscape Award, the EU-LEADER Local Action Group of the Hills of Bergamo, and the Scalve Valley EU Archaeological Industrial Heritage.

Methods: A collaborative approach will guide PhD students in some immersive research experiences, based on methods for the global – ecological, just, economic, and digital – transitions to face world challenges, with a focus on “territorial patches”, as local contexts considered in a multiscale perspective.

Scientific Committee: Jean-Marc Besse, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales; Federica Burini, University of Bergamo; Angelo Cattaneo, Istituto di Storia dell’Europa Mediterranea del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche; Edith Fagnoni, Université Paris1 Panthéon-Sorbonne; Alessandra Ghisalberti, University of Bergamo; Michel Lussault, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon; Riccardo Rao, University of Bergamo.

Participants: 10 UniBG PhD students in Landscape Studies for Global and Local Challenges and 10 PhD students from other UniBG programmes or other Universities.
