ArcheOPENLAB seeks to build upon the objectives and challenges established in the CIVIS Open Lab Heritage for All: Citizen Participation and Social Innovation, coordinated by Javier Salido Domiìnguez (UAM) since 2021 as part of the 2nd CIVIS Open Lab Call.
The goal of this Open Lab is to provide an open, collaborative, creative, and inclusive space where CIVIS universities and their partners engage with local communities to integrate archaeological sites into the social and economic fabric of municipalities. Its aim is to internationalize a model of archaeology with extensive citizen participation in excavation processes and heritage discovery.
Through innovative initiatives and the involvement of various universities in citizen-science projects related to archaeology, the OL has a positive impact on the broader community (Public Archaeology), with special attention given to individuals with functional diversity (Inclusive Archaeology). Citizen science can—and should—extend beyond academic instruction to immerse participants directly in the scientific experience.
Presentations followed by discussions will be given by:
- professors from the Universidad Autoìnoma de Madrid and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens involved in public archaeology projects;
- professors from the University of Bucharest engaged in archaeological projects with the potential to adopt a public archaeology perspective;
- renowned specialists involved in citizen-science initiatives.
The round table at the University of Bucharest is organised within the framework of the CIVIS Archaeological Citizen-science Project: Local & International Civic Inclusive Engagement (ArcheOPENLAB) and supported by the National Workshop Classical Antiquity and Citizen Science.
The event aims to showcase the experiences of UAM and NKUA and to explore the implementation of this approach to social archaeology at a Black Sea site led by a professor from the University of Bucharest.
