Members of the Research School Cultures of the Alps are working on an academic qualification (doctorate or habilitation) that is related to the program of the Institute Cultures of the Alps. The Research School Cultures of the Alps offers researchers a structured training and supervision program and is led by an interdisciplinary faculty. There are regular internal supervision meetings and peer-to-peer feedback, colloquia, workshops and institute days. On the one hand, they promote the individual projects and their resonance in a broad public, and on the other hand, the exchange and synergies between the researchers and their specific competencies.
In the context of the transdisciplinary orientation of the institute, the involvement of practitioners and artists is also possible, creating synergies between academic and practice-oriented expertise. Institutionally, the qualifications are primarily anchored at the University of Lucerne, although other connections are also possible. The members regularly take part in workshops, colloquia, mentoring and peer-to-peer feedback and also participate in events and mediation formats as part of the forum.
