Overview
Young Researchers in Archaeometry (YRA) workshop aims to give early career researchers in the Archaeological Sciences the opportunity to present their research in a friendly environment surrounded only by young students/ researchers from the same field. We welcome all persons involved in archaeometry research of different nationalities and levels, from master students to first postdoctoral fellows.
The first YRA workshop took place in Frankfurt in 2017 and after that YRA travelled in various countries such as Austria and Portugal. This year YRA workshop comes in Cyprus and it will be held in The Cyprus Institute (STARC) from the 16th until the 18th of October
