Through this agreement the Graduate Program in Social Memory and Cultural Heritage became associated with the graduate program Economía Política de la Cultura: Estudios sobre producciones culturales y patrimônio (Political Economy of Culture: Studies on cultural production and heritage) of the Universidade de Buenos Aires (UBA), a Project focused on studies of representation and management of tangible and intangible cultural heritage with emphasis on the processes of declaration as cultural heritage, as well as legislation and public instruments in the management of heritage and memory.
