In2Future Boot Camp
IN2PAST’s annual Doctoral School, the In2Future Boot Camp, was launched in 2024 as an immersive interdisciplinary laboratory for collaborative and experimental research regarding different aspects of heritage studies and practices.
After a call for applications, selected PhD candidates from the research centres that make up IN2PAST gather in Évora for one week of intensive and diverse activities, culminating in a public presentation of achieved outputs. Travel and accommodation expenses are covered by IN2PAST’s budget. Participants are also expected to take the experience and results of the Boot Camp back to their centres.
