The course of study, created in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan, will be presented tomorrow during the open day of the State University of Milan

Milan, 18 November 2020 – After the excellent response to the first edition, the second level Master's degree in Digital humanities created by the Department of Historical Studies and the Department of Computer Science of the University of Milan in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan returns.

The second edition will start in March 2021 and will be aimed at both recent graduates and professionals already in the world of work, such as archivists, librarians, museum curators, computer scientists and journalists who want to delve deeper into the practices of humanistic IT in order to design , build and manage research sites and promote highly innovative, comparative and transversal studies through the integration of knowledge.

The involvement of the municipal administration will focus, in particular, on the use of the spaces in via Gregorovius 15, home to the Citadel of archives, for the carrying out of practical activities, on the support of teaching activities through qualified personnel, in addition to the identification of one or more institutional and technological partners and the promotion of the Master in the appropriate venues.
The first edition of the Master started last March 6 and ended on July 31, 2020: 18 teachers for 500 hours of lessons in totally virtual mode due to the health emergency.

At the end of the training course in September, 32 quarterly internships of 250 hours were activated with important corporate and institutional partners, three of which in collaboration with Cittadella degli archives: the first concerns the digitization of the Rotary Milan photographic fund, the second the digitization of the protocol registers of the 30s and the third the creation of an archive exhibition and the creation of an abstract on Milanese toponymy at the time of the twenty years of fascism.

“We are pleased to confirm our participation in the Master for the second year – comments councilor Roberta Cocco (Digital Transformation and Civic Services) – to continue the increasingly intense and fruitful collaboration between the Department of Historical Studies of the University of Milan and our municipal archive, the Citadel of archives. The proposed path, which combines humanistic and technological skills, adheres perfectly to the particular historical moment we are going through in which digital is proving to be a valid ally, both in the educational and professional fields".

The master's degree will be presented tomorrow, Thursday 19 November, during the virtual open day of the University of Milan. To access you must register at the address https://masters.docsity.com/unimi-master-perfezionamento-2020.
