The Siena School conducts research projects on selected topics every year. Themes of research, such as Identity or Memory, are chosen by the staff to make us reflect upon current issues connected with the meeting of cultures. Students approach these themes from different disciplines, and through them create connections between classroom learning and the natural and social context surrounding them.

At the end of the semester all students are invited to participate in an Interdisciplinary final discussion forum. This is a public round table organized by the school, where students are encouraged to present or perform their work and discuss it together with their peers and with visiting professors from European and American universities.
