IHCantabria participated in the welcome meeting of the European project ArCHe in Riga.
Group of attendees at the ArCHe European project welcome meeting in Riga, Latvia.
ArCHe is a multidisciplinary project in which the humanities, life sciences, earth sciences and social sciences will converge to address Europe’s vulnerable coastal archaeological heritage.
This week, the capital of Latvia, Riga, has been the scene of the welcome meeting of the European project ArCHe, which brings together project partners and the ten doctoral researchers selected to be part of this ambitious initiative.
On behalf of the Institute of Environmental Hydraulics of the University of Cantabria(IHCantabria), researcher Camilo Jaramillo Cardona, who co-directs a PhD student of the University of Cantabria, participated in this meeting together with Pablo Arias, professor of Archaeology at the University of Cantabria.
ArCHe stands for the full title of the project, which is: “Archaeological Coastal Heritage: Past, present and future of a hidden prehistoric legacy“. This European project will be focused on enabling these 10 PhD students to contribute with their studies to enhance the scientific and public value of Europe’s coastal archaeological heritage, focusing specifically on the legacy of hunter-fisher-gatherers of the Paleolithic period. This valuable heritage, which offers insights into human interaction with the coast, is facing significant environmental and human threats in various geographical settings in Europe. The meeting held this week in Riga was organized by the University of Latvia, with Valdis Bērziņš as host, and represents the first opportunity for all participants to meet face to face to plan and coordinate future actions of the project.
Among the attendees, the participation of two researchers from IHCantabria stands out. Camilo Jaramillo Cardona, supervisor of doctoral researcher Jasmine Mifsud, played an active role in the sessions, oriented to the presentation of the research projects and collaborative planning.
Jaramillo stressed the importance of these initial meetings for the creation of links between the different teams and to establish the basis for joint work in the study of European coastal areas. Javier López Lara, head of the Climate Risk, Adaptation and Resilience Group at IHCantabria, is the supervisor of the doctoral researcher Julius John Togores Dimabayao.
Both researchers will contribute in the framework of the ArCHe project.
Although Javier López Lara did not attend the meeting in Latvia in person, he was able to participate virtually.
During the event, doctoral candidates, such as Jasmine Mifsud and Julius John Togores Dimabayao, presented their research projects to the project team and participated in two key workshops.
In addition, they met with their respective supervisors and internship partners, fostering connections essential to the long-term success of the project.
Beyond the formal activities, participants had the opportunity to explore together the rich history and culture of Riga, as well as its coastal areas, in a preview of the experiences they will have during the various visits to European coastal areas central to the development of the ArCHe project.
The ArCHe project, funded by the European Union, aims to study and preserve vulnerable coastal environments in the face of climate change challenges, promoting resilience and adaptation of the communities that depend on these ecosystems.
