Bookings now live - see below! #LetsGetInnovative
The historic environment is rich and diverse benefiting from a wide variety of specialisms. Collaborations spanning academic, community-led and developer-funded archaeological research provide fascinating insights to our collective past often with the help of new/adapted ‘innovative’ approaches. However, implementing innovation is not always straightforward as highlighted in a recent project undertaken by CIfA in collaboration with ALGAO (funded by Historic England). This project highlighted the issues and potential barriers being faced by archaeologists trying to embrace innovation, especially in the commercial sector, and which will form discussion themes throughout the festival.
This week-long virtual festival is free and will comprise a mix of short sessions each day including presentations, workshops, opportunities for open discussion, CPD and knowledge transfer.
