Applications are now open, through November 8, 2019, for the Professional Master’s in the Preservation and Management of Cultural Heritage in the Sciences and Health, at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz). The program is tailored to individuals who hold degrees in the human sciences, applied social sciences, and health sciences and who work or have an interest in the field of preservation.

This two-year Master’s program explores two lines of research: cultural heritage: history, memory, and society; and cultural heritage: preservation and management. Applicants should submit a research proposal relevant to one of the program’s research lines. The Graduate Committee is responsible for evaluating all proposals.

The Graduate Program in the Preservation and Management of Cultural Heritage in the Sciences and Health is anchored in the acclaimed experience of the Casa de Oswaldo Cruz, renowned for its work in preserving Fiocruz’s hundred-year-old architectural heritage.
