The course is held from February 28th to April 14th 2022 and is divided into 3 modules. The first, online, will deal with issues related to methodologies and prehistoric sites excavated by partner institutions. The second, in presence at the CERP of Isernia, will end with the organization by the students of a congress. The third, online, is aimed at the preparation and discussion of a scientific article by the students.

The final exam will take place at the Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici - C.so Ercole I d’Este 32 – Ferrara – Room 1A (ground floor).

Since 2016, the International Master in Quaternary and Prehistory (IMQP) course about Southeast Asian Prehistory evolved into an international training oriented towards current challenges in the concerned field in terms of scientific research, conservation, development, tourism and involvement of local communities. As for example, the Human Origins Heritage (HOH) participatory school was organized in 2018 and 2019 together with Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana (Salatiga, Java, Indonesia), a partner of the IMQP consortium. It included a stay in the field for students, teachers, and heritage professionals from various institutions.
