CRESAT Center for Research on Economies, Societies, Arts and Techniques UR 3436

The Center for Research on Economies, Societies, Arts and Techniques (CRESAT) brings together researchers in history (economic history, history of industrial heritage, political and cultural history, art history), in the information and communication sciences (digital culture, organizational communication, intercultural communication, media culture), in geography (geo-history of risks, cartography, GIS), in law, museology and management. Our members share an interest in the construction of Upper Rhine societies and territories. 

The CRESAT draws its strength and originality from its emphasis on the cross-border setting. We address this issue through a variety of research themes, from the history and heritages of industry to international circulation matters and the study of territorial governance and of the role of communication communities.
