Vision
Il Corso di Perfezionamento in Antropologia Urbana si rivolge a chiunque abbia interessi nell’approfondire l’analisi sociale delle città con gli strumenti concettuali, epistemologici e metodologici dell’antropologia, sia da un punto di vista teorico, sia etnografico. L’antropologia infatti può ricoprire un ruolo essenziale nel promuovere una comprensione “profonda” dei fenomeni urbani e dell’urbanità, a partire dalla consapevolezza che sempre più spesso essa non si limita a sviluppare ricerche in contesti urbani, ma utilizza piuttosto l’urbano come elemento principale della sua analisi.
La complessità di spazi fisici e sociali richiede un approccio multidisciplinare che, per quanto radicato nella disciplina antropologica e nella pratica etnografica, ne travalica i confini disciplinari. Studentesse e studenti avranno la possibilità di approfondire questioni legate all’epistemologia e alla metodologia della ricerca etnografica in contesti urbani, lo spatial turn e i contributi dell'antropologia e di altre scienze sociali all'analisi di concetti come rigenerazione, gentrificazione, giustizia spaziale, partecipazione, innovazione sociale, progettazione territoriale, sviluppo urbano. Attraverso la presentazione di casi etnografici relativi al Nord e al Sud Globale, durante le lezioni, i seminari e i laboratori si discuteranno le politiche, le pratiche e gli immaginari che forgiano i tessuti urbani contemporanei.
Mission
Obiettivi generali del Corso saranno:
- Introdurre ai campi delle discipline demo-etno antropologiche
- Definire il campo dell'antropologia urbana, comprenderne l'approccio, le metodologie, i concetti-chiave e le ricadute applicative;
- Integrare conoscenze relative al campo degli studi urbani e ai suoi linguaggi specifici con ricerche antropologiche applicate ai territori;
- Promuovere e valorizzare conoscenze e competenze negli ambiti del lavoro territoriale e della progettazione sociale in cui è possibile applicare lo sguardo antropologico e la metodologia etnografica;
- Riflettere sulle questioni urbane e sull’urbano riferendosi ai contesti italiani e non, analizzandone le dinamiche con un approccio storico, sociale e culturale;
- Elaborare conoscenze in ottica comparativa, riflettendo su alcune dinamiche globali che caratterizzano in modo differenziato contesti urbani specifici;
- Promuovere il potenziale applicativo dell'antropologia nell'ambito delle politiche urbane.

Epidemiological and bio-statistical methods for clinical research - MEBRIC
Milano
Master 2 Level
Italian
18 months
e-learning
Vision
The growing participation of public and private healthcare facilities in research activities requires the training of professionals who are experts in the design, planning, and conduct of epidemiological studies. This demand from the Italian and global labor market has been growing steadily for several decades.
The Master's program aims to train these professionals by combining theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the interdisciplinary field of the most current disciplines that characterize clinical research, such as pharmacoepidemiology. In particular, the Italian Medicines Agency emphasizes how a local healthcare system can greatly improve its ordinary care operations through the management and sharing of large amounts of data on individuals' health status.
Mission
The training program aims to explore classic and advanced topics in epidemiological and statistical methodology for clinical research aimed at identifying risk factors and causal factors for both infectious and chronic degenerative diseases, controlling and monitoring the health of the population, analyzing needs, supply, and demand, analyzing the implementation of social and health strategies, and and the process of continuous quality improvement.
At the end of the training course, participants in the Master's program will have developed the ability to produce and interpret the scientific, experimental, or observational evidence necessary for evaluating the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of healthcare interventions and services.
Since many of the potential users of this training activity may already be working, the Master's program will be delivered entirely remotely, using the “virtual classroom” technological model.
Structure
Some lessons are taught in English only. The Master's program will be delivered entirely online, using the “virtual classroom” technology model.

INTERUNIVERSITARY Climate change and Risk Management in Mountain regions
Valle d'Aosta
Master 2 Level
English
12 months

Vision
Students should develop scientific and technical skills in climatology, hydrogeology, glaciology, ecology, and water resource management. In addition, they will acquire analytical and digital tools (GIS, remote sensing, and climate/environmental modeling) and risk assessment skills (vulnerability analysis, impact scenarios, and adaptation strategies). Transversal competencies are project management, interdisciplinary teamwork, scientific communication, and outreach. Eventually, they will gain knowledge of international and national climate policies.
The Master’s program is organized by the University of Milano-Bicocca in collaboration with the University of Aosta, where in-person classes will take place.
Mission
This Master program offers an understanding of climate-change related risks, with a focus on the drivers of climate change and their impacts on mountain regions. Students analyze processes and mechanisms of climate-related risks, including glacier retreat, biodiversity loss, hydrogeological hazards, and water resource changes. The master's teaching approach combines scientific methods, GIS tools, remote sensing, and modeling techniques to assess vulnerability, measure risks, and support decision-making. It also explores innovative solutions to enhance climate resilience, such as nature-based approaches, sustainable land management, and climate-adaptive infrastructure. In addition, the program addresses international and national climate policies, governance frameworks, and strategies for engaging communities and securing funding for climate adaptation. Learning is integrated with case studies and fieldwork, ensuring both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
