Discover with us the potential of collaboration and scientific cooperation by

much more!

Registration fee: Free
Timezone: Central European Summer Time

Our teachers are mainly doctoral students and will teach you theoretical
knowledge about their field, the methods they use, and the soft skills they
have developed. The school will be held online from August 16 to 27, 2021. The
first week will consist of lectures introducing the main aspects of
archaeology, archaeogenetics, as well as linguistic and cultural evolution. In
the second week, the focus will be on case studies illustrating
interdisciplinary projects that combine all three fields in a geographical
area (e.g. Southeast Asia). Workshops on scientific methods (e.g., Bayesian
phylogenetic linguistics) and soft-skill courses (e.g., LaTeX, graphics,
research ethics) will be scheduled over the two weeks. Each day will consist
of 3-4 courses from 9 am to 5 pm (CEST) with breaks in between. There will be
no parallel sessions so that you are able to attend all of the courses!

Furthermore, you will hear three invited keynote talks from distinguished
researchers and listen to a round table discussion between three senior
scientists from our institute. The program is rounded off by social events in
the evening where you can chat with fellow students, teachers, and the
organizing team. To receive course credit for the summer school, you will need
to prepare a poster on a topic of interest and present it at our poster
session on the last day of school.

- Balthasar Bickel
