The VR Centre of Excellence, Center for the Human Past (CHP), organises various types of seminars on topics related to overlapping areas in palaeogenetics, archaeology, and historical linguistics, as well as computational research. These activities offer knowledge exchange, research training and mentorship by experts in their fields to junior researchers and PhD students.
PhD students may earn higher education credits (ECTS) for active participation in CHP seminars (if agreed with their supervisor and in accordance with the standard practices at their departments).
The CHP seminars:
Talks of the Past (ToP) seminars
Talks of the Past (ToP) interdisciplinary seminars are open to anyone interested in the subject, in particular junior researchers. Therefore, these seminars have a more introductory character but are followed by a more in-depth discussion on the subject.
Mini-Seminars
The mini-seminars by CHP include shorter presentations on topics within the Centre’s scientific interest areas. They serve as a prelude to in-depth discussions on the subject in a smaller group.
Journal Club Co-Moderation
Additional research training opportunities are available through participation in and co-moderation of discussions on selected scientific publications at the CHP Journal Club meetings.
These CHP seminars (and Journal Club meetings), often with guest speakers, take place on (some) Wednesdays, 15:00-16:30.
The announcements are published online in the CHP Event Calendar and are delivered in English.
