The 2nd Annual ToRS-Saxo PhD seminar
This event is a joint collaboration between the PhDs of the ToRS and Saxo Institutes, celebrating that the overlap between our different fields of study has now been augmented with a physical proximity set in stone — moving in together after all these years. The seminar will focus on projects within the fields of ancient history, archaeology, cultural heritage and museology. Accordingly, the intention is to offer PhD fellows as well as students and other faculty members insight into the ongoing projects taking place at both institutes and to provide a platform for making new acquaintances.
