Studying Archaeology in Europe, official website

Studying Archaeology in Europe project will work through a partnership of 12 organisations from 10 European nations. This partnership recognises that cooperation within a single transnational project, will benefit a larger group of potential students, many of whom are not well-informed about transnational opportunities. The project will achieve its aims by gathering and sharing information on :

• the organisation and content of archaeological studies in the partner countries
• the mobility opportunities for students to work or study in other countries
• the identification of opportunities for voluntary work
• the provision of information, advice and guidance on how best to find employment after studying

This information will be come public through a dedicated website. A central feature of this website will be that its information can be enhanced and expanded by the project partners in the future and by future participants from other countries at a later date.

To enhance the nature of support available to exchange students, the project will also create a peer-support network for students. It will achieve this through the creation of a student-led and internet-based, social networking site through which contacts and advice can be sought and maintained. This resource will be owned by the student partner organisations.

The initial ideas for this project were developed by Austrian, British German, and Slovene postgraduate students. The benefits will be shared between partner organisations (and linked universities) in a total of ten countries (Austria, Belgium, United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Germany, Macedonia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden). Participation by student organisations from other countries will be actively encouraged, during the course of the project.
