Call for Applications for Archaeologists without Borders Support

The WAC Archaeologists without Borders Program is a unique endeavour that supports archaeological education and training in economically disadvantaged countries. Through a network of training programs, WAC members in different parts of the world may travel to host institutions to provide educational opportunities. This program derives from the WAC mission to foster international academic interaction, and to eradicate economic barriers to education about archaeology.

Why get involved in this project?

By taking part in this project you will contribute to our shared vision of global equality in archaeology.

By linking scholars around the world, we ensure that higher archaeological education is available to all, regardless of the economic state of one’s country.  In addition, WAC members are able to support one another by sharing expertise and insights and networking among members around the globe to ensure continued professional and personal development.
