This prestigious programme is tied to the Cultural Heritage Hub, an international research network within the Alliance, which structures its research ecosystem facing cultural related challenges. CHORAL aims to train high-quality international researchers and to encourage the development of interdisciplinary, international and inter-sectoral research that addresses any aspect of Cultural Heritage. While rooted in cultural heritage, the program spans a wide range of scientific domains, including architecture, anthropology, arts and culture, computer science, history, literature, linguistics, management, musicology and more. Selected candidates will be enrolled in PhD programs under joint supervision, awarding a double degree and requiring international mobility in 7 universities of the UNITA Alliance for fully funded 3-years PhDs. Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (UPPA – France) Université Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB – France) Università degli Studi di Torino (UNITO – Italy) Universidad de Zaragoza (UNIZAR – Spain) Università degli Studi di Brescia (UNIBS – Italy) Universidad Pública de Navarra (UPNA – Spain) Universitatea Transilvania din Brașov (UNITBV – Roumania) Some flagships of CHORAL: Get high quality training and research guaranteed by the expertise of the UNITA Alliance Research Laboratories within the dedicated Cultural Heritage Hub. Collaborate with partners and international leaders in Cultural Heritage. Enjoy dedicated support: from reception to professional integration. To be a player in the social, economic and cultural transformation of rural and cross-border mountain territories. Benefit from dedicated mobility and travel allowances and research costs support.

Research topics have been proposed by habilited supervisors from the Doctoral Schools of UPPA and the implementing partners after a call launched towards the academic community of the programme. Candidates must choose among the subjects posted on PhD Research topics. Each candidate can apply to 3 topics MAXIMUM. CHORAL places cultural heritage and the cultural and creative industries at the very heart of the research programme.
