UAB Archaeology and Palaentology Campus: 10 years of shared experiences
Description:
The UAB will hold the plenary meeting of the Archaeology and Palaeontology Campus on 3 November, a day that will commemorate 10 years of this project promoted by the UAB's Strategic Research Community in Cultural Heritage (CORE network). The event will feature the participation of Assumpció Malgosa, vice-rector for Research, and Margarita Freixas, dean of the Faculty of Arts & Humanities, as well as institutional representatives linked to the project.
The day will begin with an institutional welcome and continue with a session of presentations and work focused on the review of the current lines and the definition of future challenges for the campus. During the session, Oriol Vicente (CORE of Cultural Heritage) will outline the trajectory of the project, which since its creation has consolidated a model of integration between research, teaching and knowledge transfer in the fields of archaeology and palaeontology. The day will also include the presentation of various archaeological sites by the people responsible for them.
The Archaeology and Palaeontology Campus, which received the 2018 Jaume Vicens Vives Award for university teaching quality, is a teaching experience that takes advantage of and integrates the knowledge of the UAB's archaeological and palaeontological research projects in the practical teaching of Archaeology degrees, and in the initiation to research of master's and PhD students. It structures its activity around a network of sites, museums and facilities that have chronologies ranging from the Palaeolithic to the modern age. The different sites (currently more than a dozen), which include large Mediterranean sites, are spread across Catalonia, other parts of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.
The day will end with a work session focused on reviewing current and future research lines, a visit to the UAB laboratories, and the INTERMEDIT exhibition.
