Her main research interest is in the field of cultural heritage and digital heritage, across the museum, library and archive sectors. In particular she has a passion for research in the areas of preserving tangible and intangible cultural heritage and scientific digital objects, cultural heritage informatics, the application of information technology to museums, libraries and archives, and innovative ways of representing information online. Innocenti holds a PhD from the University of Glasgow with a thesis on the developments of Cultural Heritage Informatics, a 5-years degree cum laude in HumanitiesHistory of Modern Art from University of Rome La Sapienza, and a Master in Management and Communication of Cultural Heritage from Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. She led research as Co-Investigator and contributed to EU-funded FP6, FP7 and PSP collaborative research projects (DPE, Planets, CASPAR, SHAMAN, DL.org, ECLAP) on digital preservation and digital libraries, and to various national initiatives on digital heritage. Innocenti came to Glasgow from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy where she held a research scholarship on information systems for industrial design and coordinated digital libraries activities and projects. Prior to that, she conducted research on museology and museography in Italy with Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Goppion Laboratorio Museotecnico, Istituto Nazionale di Archeologia e Storia dell’Arte in Rome, and Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna. She also collaborated with the Italian publishing house Electa-Mondadori for exhibition management at the Coliseum and Capitoline Museums. The results of her scholarship have been presented and published in several international conferences, journals and books.
