TNE HERIT4FUTURE

HerIt4Future aims to strengthen collaboration and synergies between partner institutions in Italy and Latin America (LATAM) to develop innovative transnational educational programs focused on Heritage. The partner universities will engage in joint reflection on the variety of meanings and impacts stemming from a deep understanding, preservation, and enhancement of cultural and natural heritage, contributing to the design of innovative solutions for global challenges. These impacts extend across multiple areas, from inclusive education to public health, from sustainable development to environmental protection, as well as digital transformation and migration.

Thanks to a shared cultural heritage—reinforced by the significant presence of communities of Italian descent in LATAM countries—universities from both regions have built strong and lasting collaborations. These partnerships involve a wide range of stakeholders committed to preserving and advancing a legacy that spans generations. Since 1998, the Project Coordinator (UniBO) has maintained a permanent representation in Buenos Aires (Representación en la República Argentina - Centro de Altos Estudios of the University of Bologna). Building on this foundation, HerIt4Future aims to elevate these collaborations by intensifying internationalization efforts through the joint planning and implementation of innovative academic programs.

Specific Objectives (SOs)

SO1: Create an inclusive and diverse mobility program for students and academic staff between Italy and LATAM.

SO2: Develop and implement innovative joint second- and third-level academic programs with partner universities.

SO3: Establish a structured framework for joint Advanced Skills Courses (ASCs).

SO4: Establish two hubs in Latin America that will serve as reference points for project activities and ensure the sustainability of cooperation beyond the project’s duration.
