king experiences. Students are also included in Interreg and research projects,
as well as in international conferences organized by the department. The research
approach is nurtured and encouraged also within singular classes accordingly to the
study level. The results of some final theses have been published in the form of ar-
ticles and chapters in scientific publications. So, for example, students carried out
field research as part of the project Living landscape, and, within the Modern Times
course, research for the Concepts of peasant economy project. Students are taken to
specialized field trips where they can see in person the contents from classes.
