The school is co-organized by University of Tartu ECHO team, the Center of Excellence Estonian Roots, and the Estonian Doctoral School. The core of the autumn school is a workshop on archaeogenetics for non-geneticists, with additional introductions to large databases in folkloristics, archaeology, and pollen analyses in paleoecology. This event brings together researchers from different disciplines of the humanities and natural sciences in Estonia and surrounding regions to make their datasets and methods more understandable to each other and discuss transdisciplinary research challenges.
Number of participants: up to 35
Accommodation, meals, and transport to Tammemäe Vesiveski (Jõgevamaa) from Tartu and back will be covered by the organizers.
