Organization
The Scuola is administratively responsible to the Department of Historical Studies within the University of the Republic of San Marino (Università degli Studi della Repubblica di San Marino), whose first enactment the Scuola's inauguration was. Its principal activity is a triennial doctoral programme which has represented from its inception in 1989 one of Europe’s most innovative experiments in this field. The doctorate in historical studies (referred to in Italian as a Dottorato di ricerca, equivalent to a degree of Ph.D. or D.Phil. in the English-speaking world) is unusual in the level of interdisciplinary instruction offered to students. A distinguished Consiglio scientifico or academic council, recruited from Italy and beyond, is intended to ensure the strength and breadth of this interdisciplinarity, particularly in history and other humanities.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“When a man’s partner’s killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
“Politics, as a practise, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
