Department of Studies in Heritage

• Jean Monnet University in Saint-Etienne is a unique European and international platform for
  studyingtangible and intangible cultural heritage, cultural landscapes, reasonable and sustainable
  managing, their protection, and their development.It offers on the Campus "Le Corbusier" in
  Firminy, in a historical monument, a set of professional academic education, a uniquely
  comprehensive approachand methods applied to the recent and future problemscaused by the heritage
  ofmodernity.
  
  
• Preparing Heritage experts to face future challenges.
  Castles, churches, and historical monuments are not anymore theonlyconstituents of heritage; new
  cultural legacieshave to be taken into account. Factories and brownfields, collective housing and
  public areas, infrastructures, and contemporary artworks need particular expertise in many domains:
  materials (e.g. concrete, steel, and plastic), modalities of use, recycling, and reuse. Heritage is an
  economic development lever, which is always present and crucial in land-useplanning, including the
  urban planning (recycling, and waste reuse, and districts change). It is essential notto forget the
  importance ofintangible heritage and cultural landscapes for thesocial consensus. In such a context,
  the choice and selection of saved objects impose on the decision makers the presence of an informed
  council,although the budget and economic constraints are more and more pressing.
