Since 2011, Doctorate studies in Spain are fully inserted in the European Higher Education Area. As a result, close collaborations within the Iberian space, i.e. between Spain and Portugal, have been possible. This paper aims to approach the internationalization of research in heritage, mostly regarding the experience of doctoral theses which themes have focused on Portuguese aspects, but with a look from the University of Seville. Case studies focusing on objectives, methodologies and lines of research, as well as the results, will be presented. Therefore, this paper will discuss the added value of internationalization in terms of research on heritage and the consequent development on the scale of the architectural object and the territory. Continuity and relevance of the themes developed in doctoral programmes completed in funded research projects will be detailed and analysed. This paper also discusses the results of this interconnection of subjects focusing on Portuguese aspects, linked to issues of architecture and heritage, which was developed in a Spanish University (University of Seville) in order to assess their relevance for the development of new lines of research in a Portuguese University (University of Beira Interior). This paper will provide a debate on the results and experiences that result from the internationalization of research in Heritage, thus emphasizing the interface between Architecture and Historical heritage, the development of new lines of research and a growing social awareness with contributions and consequences for Memory and Heritage management.
