Due to organizational challenges, the IFRAO Inter Congress Symposium, originally foreseen for the 24-26 March has been postponed to the 26-27 May 2023.

The President of IFRAO with the support of the Convener announces the IFRAO Inter-Congress Symposium 2023 - News from the World which will be hosted as a video conference by the Centro Camuno di Studi Preistorici (CCSP) and by the Footsteps of Man Archaeological Cooperative Society (IFRAO Members) between 26 and 27 May 2023.

Venue: the speakers will connect online via Zoom. All presentations will also be broadcast live on the YouTube channel of the Centro Camuno di Studi Preistorici and the Footsteps of Man Archaeological Cooperative Society and shared on their respective Facebook pages.

Presentation method: presentations of about 20 minutes, on the Zoom platform, from your PC (check the functionality of the web connection, video camera and microphone). We recommend preparing a presentation of about 20 slides in PowerPoint, PDF or equivalent program, in English.
