Core Group Meeting in Turku in Finland
COST-ARKWORK Core Group held a two-day meeting in Turku (Åbo), Finland on Oct 4-5, 2018 with a focus on a status and progress report after two years of activities and planning of future activities within the Action. The Core Group was glad to see that the Action is running well and a lot of progress has been made to reach the objectives of the action even if there is a lot of work left for the next two years and beyond. During the next two years, ARKWORK will be organising a series of industry forums, the first one focusing on contract archaeology being scheduled to January 2019, conferences and workshops, and two more training schools. There are also plenty of opportunities for research exchange within the ARKWORK STSM mechanism for the current and future members of the Action.
