Conference Programme

The IAI is organising a one-day summer conference which aims to examine the on-going government-led review of policy and practice in Irish archaeology and will also explore the prospects for the profession in the current economic climate. A series of speakers from third level institutions, private companies and government departments will participate in the conference which promises to be informative and rewarding.

The seminar will be divided into two streams: 

The morning sessions will focus on legislation, licensing and practice. 

The afternoon sessions will examine the effects of the recession on archaeological practice in Ireland and the future prospects for the profession

A list of speakers and conference programme will be available shortly.
