Erasmus
The universities of Paris 1 Panthéon ­ Sorbonne (France), Evora (Portugal), and Padua (Italy) are activating their joint Erasmus Mundus Master degree in "Industrial Heritage, Techniques and Territories – History, Enhancement, Education".  
This course offers a high quality specialization in the history of techniques, in the industrial archeology and in the enhancement of cultural heritage. The training particularly focuses on seminars and field workshops. It provides access to PhD programmes and gives opportunities for employment in the management and promotion of cultural, territorial and industrial heritage.
EU bursaries are available for students and teachers/researchers from outside the EU. Non European students are assigned 42,000 Euro for a total period of two years. European students can attend the whole or part of the course within the structure of the traditional Erasmus bursaries.

"Industrial Archaeology and Industrial Heritage" includes historiography, heuristics and case studies. The first part deals with the development, definitions and the theory of the field (mainly Europe), the second part covers the sources (i.e. written sources, iconography, sites & objects, and "sound" sources), and the third part develops four to five case studies (e.g. Thurn & Taxis, working-class dwellings, machine building, consumer goods).
