About the LIMS:

The Interdepartmental Lab Memory and Society was founded in 2022 thanks to the joint effort of Maurizio Giangiulio and Giuseppe Sciortino within the Progetto Strategico d’Ateneo of the University of Trento and is coordinated by Giorgia Proietti (Department of Humanities) and Andrea Cossu (Department of Sociology).
As the first interdisciplinary memory studies centre in Italy, LIMS aims to offer an innovative platform for scientific discussion and initiatives around memory from an inter- and multi-disciplinary perspective and in connection with both local and international research institutes and networks. While waiting for a proper website, here is a brief description of the Lab.
