Educational project

The MOUNTAIN-ABLE Master: Planning and Design for Sustainable Mountain Development is an advanced post-graduate course addressed to applicants with a Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification earned abroad. The Master's program is based on the belief that the Italian mountain areas from the Alps to the Apennines will play a fundamental role in the construction of the new socio-economic, settlement, and environmental dynamics in the Italy of the future, in line with European processes for territorial development. New professional and technical profiles will be needed to plan, design, and manage this transition while guaranteeing quality and sustainability. Profiles equipped with multidisciplinary skills and managerial attitudes to define strategic planning processes and design, empower, or evaluate local-specific projects. Pursuing a complementarity of intents concerning the values of beauty, sustainability, and inclusiveness is necessary for a safe and sustainable living dimension. Thanks to the dynamics triggered by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), the SNAI Strategy, and the National Strategy for the Italian Mountain (SNAMI), and in light of the New European Bauhaus (NEB) principles The Master is designed to respond to these needs, with the conviction that the sustainability and quality of the project must be essential elements for a regeneration and revitalization process of the mountain areas whose environmental quality has often been compromised by inadequate programming, planning, and design practices. The Master is configured with Executive character, and it is mainly addressed to applicants that have already entered a professional career, with particular reference: technicians and officials active in the public sector Administration, consortia, cooperatives, third sector entities, national and international agencies, or similar profiles working for private companies, or practitioners.
