Meet the people and organizational units behind the Una Europa Doctoral Programme in Cultural Heritage: Una Europa Cultural Heritage Self-Steering Committee, potential thesis supervisors, key stakeholders relating to Una-Her-Doc governance, teaching and course content, as well as truly transnational cohorts of Una-Her-Doc doctoral candidates.

Within Una Europa ecosystem and its 6 transdisciplinary focus areas, each steered by a group of academics from Una Europa universities, the Cultural Heritage Self-Steering Committee (SSC) is coordinated by Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. The role of a SSC is to develop a framework for collaboration in a particular thematic area, as well as different activities inscribed within - educational programmes, activities and modules, research projects and various scientific events.

Since 2019, the universities of Una Europa have implemented and launched an important number of research and training activities in relation with Cultural Heritage, among which, Una Europa Doctoral Program in Cultural Heritage and several PhD workshops on different topics related to heritage. The Una-Her-Doc programme was thus launched in 2021 and the first international cohort of doctoral candidates started their studies in February 2022.

Furthermore, in 2023, we developed a broader Una Europa strategy and an action plan on Cultural Heritage, consisting of various research, teaching and outreach programs and activities, that we are currently developing.

Una-Her-Doc programme is governed by the following bodies: Una-Her-Doc coordinating university, Una-Her-Doc Joint Doctoral Committee and Una-Her-Doc Steering Committee. All the bodies work in conjunction with PhD schools or programmes of the nine universities* participating in Una-Her-Doc and with Una Europa Board of Directors.

• Until June 2025, Una-Her-Doc coordinating university is Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. The coordinating university deals with the administrative coordination of the Una-Her-Doc programme, namely – the registration to the programme; supporting programme events; monitoring whether a doctoral candidate complies with the workload dedicated to Una-Her-Doc programme, as defined in the individual co-supervision agreement; issuing the Una-Her-Doc certificate.

• Una-Her-Doc Joint Doctoral Committee (JDC) manages the Una-Her-Doc, defines its study programme and assesses whether the applications for the Una-Her-Doc are admissible. It consists of nine members, from the 9 partner universities, nominated on the basis of their expertise in heritage studies. Names of the current JDC Members are available in the Contacts Section.
  

• The Una-Her-Doc Steering Committee consists of i) the members of the JDC, ii) representative PhD supervisors: 1 designated by each Party and iii) representative PhD candidates: 1 designated by each Party. The Una-Her-Doc Steering Committee reflects on the general principles of the programme and has a consultative role in it.

* Currently, only 9 Una Europa universities participate in the delivery of Una-Her-Doc (Freie Universität Berlin, Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna, Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie, University of Edinburgh, Helsingin Yliopisto, KU Leuven, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universität Zürich, and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne). However, the process of on-boarding new universities (Universiteit Leiden, and University College Dublin) is envisaged soon.

Discover here our Second Cohort of Una-Her-Doc Doctoral Candidates 2022-2023.

Discover here our Third Cohort of Una-Her-Doc Doctoral Candidates 2023-2024.

Teaching team of the Una-Her-Doc involves many thesis supervisors, professors and researchers from all the nine Una Europa universities, working in the field of Cultural Heritage Studies. Many well renowned academics outside Una Europa and cultural heritage professionals are also involved as the guest lecturers within different courses proposed in the programme.

* Doctoral candidates are invited to choose one of the following supervisors from the university they are interested in enrolling. Together with her/him, a doctoral candidate might also choose a co-supervisor in one of the other eight Una Europa universities.

** the list is not exhaustive, other supervisors from 9 Una Europa universities could be considered as well
