Research
Our research focuses on the study of historical and cultural landscapes in Albania, with a particular emphasis on the territories of the Upper Vjosa Valley, in the southeastern part of the country. We collaborate with national and international experts to conduct comprehensive studies that contribute to the understanding and protection of specific areas of interest.
Central to our research is a GIS-based database, which provides an interactive platform for documenting and processing the field and desk-collected data.
