From 26–29 August 2026, Athens will host the 32nd Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA). Under the motto “Resonant Pasts,” the conference explores how the material traces of bygone eras can be revitalized through research and meaningful public engagement.
The EAA is the leading association for archaeologists in Europe and beyond. With more than 12,000 members from 120 countries, it provides a dynamic platform for exchange on research, heritage management, ethics, and the latest developments in archaeology. The Annual Meetings are the highlight of the year, bringing together international expertise with local perspectives.
The programme of the 2026 Annual Meeting spans a wide spectrum of topics – from museums and cultural heritage in times of “permacrisis” to digital and interdisciplinary approaches, human–environment interactions, material culture, and new perspectives on the Mediterranean region.
Call for Papers für Session #212:
"Transforming Data into Experience: Interdisciplinary Strategies for Sustainable Archaeological Tourism"
This session is co-organized by members of the ROMAN LEGACY project and explores how complex archaeological data can be transformed into engaging, sustainable, and meaningful cultural experiences. The session focuses on:
• Interdisciplinary collaboration
• Knowledge transfer and public archaeology
• Digital tools
• Museum and community partnerships
• Innovative models for sustainable cultural tourism
We welcome contributions that present successful methodologies and digital solutions – from databases and remote sensing to creative reconstructions of past lifeworlds. The aim is to showcase how collaboration and knowledge exchange can inspire new visitor programs and viable models for cultural tourism.
ROMAN LEGACY
The aim of the project is to establish a cultural route as part of a larger thematic region along the Danube Limes, which connects several European countries as a shared European heritage, and to submit this route for certification as a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe.
