Building on integrative ecocultural paradigms that critically move beyond the traditional nature–culture divide, the programme provides advanced training in interdisciplinary approaches that link cultural heritage, biodiversity, climate resilience, and social practice. Without replacing the core doctoral curriculum, it equips doctoral students with additional conceptual frameworks, methodological tools, and policy literacy rooted in UNESCO conventions, the UN 2030 Agenda, and European Green Deal priorities, while engaging contemporary debates on resilience, adaptation, transformation, and more‑than‑human ethics. Through a modular and flexible structure, the programme fosters critical reflection on heritage as a dynamic, relational, and future‑oriented process, empowering doctoral students to connect academic formation with societal impact, community engagement, and responsible stewardship of interconnected cultural and ecological systems.
