The European Association of Archaeologists<\/a> was founded 25 years ago and is one of the, if not the, most important archaeological associations in Europe. It is also one of the largest archaeological associations in the world. For many years, German experts from all archaeological disciplines and the cultural and heritage management sectors have taken part in the annual meetings that form a central forum of communication and exchange for the EAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Romano-Germanic\nCommission (RGK) takes a very active role in the EAA: as of 2014, it is a\ncorporate member with 10 fixed members. The current first director, Eszter\nB\u00e1nffy, has held several key positions within the EAA structure since 2005 and\nwas general secretary of the association from 2008-2011. The second director,\nKerstin P. Hofmann and all research staff of the institute regularly organise\nsessions and contribute papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nyear\u2019s annual meeting will be held in Bern, Switzerland, from the 4th to the 7th\nof September. It is held under the motto Beyond\nparadigms<\/em>, a nod to the ground-breaking achievements of Albert Einstein\nduring his time at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern. This includes, of course,\nthe so-called \u201cWunderjahr\u201d of 1905, in which Einstein published 5 major works,\nincluding his dissertation, that would revolutionise not only Physics but the\ngeneral understanding of our world. In its 25th<\/sup> year, the EAA seeks to\nprovide not only a platform for exchange and presentation of newest research\napproaches and results, but also for discussion of the wider societal and\nsocio-political relevance and role of archaeology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Bern,\nthe RGK will be not only present its current research in the form of sessions\nand papers, but also at a stand at the European\nArchaeology Fair.<\/em> This stand will offer a chance to meet us, talk to us\nabout our current research and to browse our current publications. The short\nversion of our new bilingual brochure \u201cDie RGK stellt sich vor. Introducing the\nRGK\u201c was finished just in time and will be available at the stand. It provides\nmore information about the RGK and its projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
