GLAD – Genetics, linguistics and archaeology in the digital age
The GLAD programme is a collaboration between Uppsala University (Sweden), Ghent University (Belgium), University of Tartu (Estonia), and Univerity of Turku (Finland) funded by ENLIGHT. Our goal is to educate a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers and equip them with the tools to combine genetics, linguistics, and archaeology to uncover the human past. In the GLAD programme, students on Master’s and PhD level are invited to enroll in courses offered by the partner universities.
Students participate online in all GLAD courses.
