Dear students,

the situation in which this academic year begins is particular and complex, and we had to deal with a very difficult space situation. In the first semester, classes will take place remotely, mostly through the Teams platform that many of you have been using during the past academic year.

It was decided to organize an introductory lesson in attendance, which will cover the teaching of the first semester that has the largest number of students (History of Modern Art), using the classroom of maximum capacity in the Polo di Balbi, or the Aula Magna of the Albergo dei Poveri, on Thursday, September 24 at the times indicated on the useful link "Didactics in time of COVID-19".

From the following days the lessons will start in remote mode.

For a limited number of students, it will be possible to participate in the workshop of Information Systems for Cultural Heritage, nine meetings on Thursdays between 9 and 11, starting from 8 October. Since the workshop is closed in number, the participating students will be selected on the basis of the order in which an email request is sent to the teacher, Prof. Massimo Albanese (massimo.albanese@unige.it).

Some workshop activities in presence for very small groups of students can be proposed by the teachers of some disciplines to the students enrolled in their courses.

It is possible, as usual, to refer to the tutores, which for the academic year 2020-2021 are Mirna Bosi, Flora Cordone, Martina Federici, who can be contacted at these e-mail addresses: mirna.bosi@gmail.com, 4236322@studenti.unige.it, martinafederici93@gmail.com. It is possible to send them an email to arrange appointments on Teams platform, by phone or in presence (respecting the rules of distance and safety).

It should be noted that a new teaching is activated this year, scheduled to be held in the first semester, among the exams of your choice for the second year. The title is "Introduction to Corporate Profiles for Cultural Heritage Management". The teaching is divided into two modules, held by Professors Renata Dameri and Claudia Bovis. The first part of the course will deal with issues related to the forms of business - business, cultural entity, non-profit organization - used for the management of cultural assets and activities, public-private partnerships, economic-financial sustainability, business models specific to the cultural and creative industry and the measurement of economic, social and cultural performance. In the second part, the profile of the "registrar" will be explored in depth and the management methods relating to the organisation of exhibitions and shows will be discussed.

Teaching is foreseen as an option for all the curricula. Due to a material error, it is directly clickable only by the students of the curriculum of Beni Archeologici during the compilation of the standard online study plan, while the students of the other curricula must insert it in "individual plan" mode (a plan that will however maintain the indication of the chosen curriculum and will be approved by the Study Plans Committee).
