Research and training
Research and the museum
The research carried out relates to the dynamics of contemporary societies of Europe and the Mediterranean, conceived from a comparative and inter-disciplinary point of view that favours transversal partnerships between different players. This includes researchers in all disciplines, conservators, artists, curators and citizens.
Guiding principles
| 1 | To document the phenomena of contemporary society at Euro-Mediterranean level; |
| 2 | To develop research tools that apply to the museum’s activities: conservation, documentation and enrichment of the collections, transmission and diffusion of knowledge areas, and the involvement of the public; |
| 3 | To set up exhibitions based on research work and first-hand documentation (seminars, surveys and publications); |
| 4 | To make a contribution towards training those involved in heritage, and students; |
| 5 | To mobilise the scientific community whilst also underpinning working partnerships with researchers and research laboratories at both national and international level. |
