Get ready for GLAD education-admission open


Under the umbrella of ENLIGHT, we are starting a pilot project to create an integrated, interdisciplinary education on the subject of the Human Past. The project, GLAD (Genetics, Linguistics & Archaeology in the Digital Age), offers PhD and Master’s students the opportunity to pick and mix high-quality courses from four European Universities: Uppsala, Ghent, Tartu & Turku.

The admission for some autumn term courses is already open!

More information and the current course offer can be found on our webpage GLAD, under Education.
