The Office of Studies has been active since the establishment of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage (DPR 3 December 1975, n.805, art. 10), within the Directorate General for General Administrative and Personnel Affairs, with the task of conducting studies, research, and investigations on matters of transversal interest to the activities of the Ministry, disseminating the results through publication and, subsequently, also through the website. Until 2014, the Office of Studies was part of Service I \u2013 Coordination and Studies of the Secretariat General; since 2015, it has been part of the Directorate General for Education and Research, renamed the Directorate General of Education, Research, and Cultural Institutions on 5 February 2020.<\/p>\n
