The main aim of the School is to trigger processes of exchange and experimentation between students of different disciplines, focused on the field of building and urban sustainability, with reference to the intervention on historic cities and building heritage.

Sustainable management of built heritage is a priority that cannot be postponed on a global scale. Existing and foreseen policy plans and targets of UE in the Sustainable development area will imply the need of a huge amount of experts with green competencies and skills.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UNSDG) 11 “sustainable cities and communities” is assumed here as one of the reference topics for the development of appropriate national and supranational policies. The European Campus of City-Universities (EC2U) is a multi-cultural and multi-lingual Alliance consisting of seven long-standing, education and research, locally and globally engaged universities from four diverse regions of the European Union.

The school is strongly multidisciplinary and focuses on a strategic topic at international, national, and local level. The school intends to include in its activities a representative of students and teachers from each EC2U partner as opportunity for cooperation between the universities involved in the programme. It will also represent a community of teachers and students belonging to the different universities, who share common cultural, scientific and educational interests.
