The Joint Master in European Cultural Governance (EUCULTURE) is offered by CIFE  and the School of Government at Luiss Guido Carli.

Live in Rome, Berlin and Nice and learn how the intrinsic relationship of Cultural Heritage, Sustainable Development and the Digital Transition can contribute to a constructive transformation of 21st century society.

During the year, students of the EUCULTURE Master will:

Embark on a cultural Grand Tour of Europe with immersive experiences in culturally significant locations in Rome, Berlin, Nice and Paris;

Gain a comprehensive understanding of European cultural heritage and its challenges in light of the twin ecological and digital transitions;

Study the new policy opportunities and challenges raised by artificial intelligence;

Learn how Europe's cultural policies can be a model for global sustainable development;

The Joint Master in European Cultural Governance is a one-year programme that takes place in three different cities:

• October to January: Rome (Italy): The programme starts in Rome, on the campus of Luiss School of Government. Courses will give an introduction to Governance of Cultural Policies, focusing on EU policies and cultural management, specifically in the Mediterranean region.
• February to April: Berlin (Germany): The programme continues in Berlin, in the CIFE premises. Teaching will concentrate on Central and Eastern European Culture and Sustainable Development. Students will gain insights into the role of culture in local and regional developments, learning how cultural institutions and artists contribute to the ecological transition.
• April to July: Nice (France): Courses conclude in Nice, on CIFE's main site. A special focus will be laid on Western European Culture and the Digital Transition. Students will attend courses on Cultural Differences in a Multicultural World, Cultural Diplomacy and Digital Cultural Heritage, as well as the Ecological Transition of Culture.

A study trip to the cultural hub of Paris provides the opportunity to interact with key actors in the culture sector and gain insights into the workings of major cultural institutions. As part of their academic requirements, students will complete a final Master thesis.
