International seminars and summer schools

In partnership with numerous institutions, each year the Ecole du Louvre organizes short intensive programs called seminars, in France (in Paris or in the regions) and abroad, for students of the Ecole, students of the Ecole's partner universities and young professionals.
In addition, a summer school is organized with Peking University, China, to welcome and send students from both establishments.
These provide an excellent opportunity to meet and exchange ideas on specific study issues, and to expand one's network in a more informal setting.
Participants earn study credits or certificates, depending on the partnership agreement.

International seminars

The École du Louvre, in partnership with the University Federico II of Naples, is offering a seminar organized between Paris and Naples designed to question the relationship between archaeology and museology.

 

Introduction

The École du Louvre has joined forces with the University Federico II of Naples to offer a cross-seminar in French, English and Italian bringing together students from each institution. Organized between Paris and Naples, the seminar is based on the complementary nature of specialist talks and field visits, including, in Naples, the Naples Archaeological Museum, the Phlegrean Fields Archaeological Museum, the Herculanense Museum, the sites of Pompei, Velia, Paestum or Rione Terra; in Paris, the national archaeology museum of St-Germain-en Laye, the Musée de l'Homme, the museum of the Bibliothèque nationale de France or Inrap.

The aim of the seminar is to question the relationship between archaeology and museology according to the most recent disciplinary and methodological orientations. The seminar invites participants to reflect on archaeology as a cognitive process, analysis and interpretation, data storage and the digital management of archaeological documents. The seminar also addresses the challenges of conserving, exhibiting and mediating archaeological sites and collections: protecting, exhibiting and understanding the challenges of archaeological sites and museums.
