Het Grote ArcheoScience Fest

PROGRAMME

Science Dialogues (English spoken)

Theaterzaal

moderatoren

Lisette Kootker & Hayley Mickleburgh

Speciaal voor het ArcheoScienceFest worden maar liefst vijf internationale sciencekanjers ingevlogen! Zij laten vanuit de eigen expertise en achtergrond hun licht schijnen op een Nederlandse site of thematiek. In de theaterzaal van het Castellum gaan ze in gesprek met een Nederlandse referent – en natuurlijk met het publiek.

Verspreid over de dag zijn er vijf van deze Science Dialogues van een uur met telkens één buitenlandse keynote-spreker en één referent. De onderwerpen variëren van het opsporen van schepen van de Hollandse walvisvaart in de Arctische regio en de spectaculaire analyseresultaten van plaggen van de wal van het legioenskamp van Valkenburg tot de bijdrage van sedimentair DNA aan het onderzoek van de Nederlandse Limes. Dat mag je niet missen!

Especially for the ArcheoScienceFest, no fewer than five international science experts are being flown in! Each will offer their unique perspective and expertise on a Dutch site or theme. In the theatre hall of the castellum, they will engage in dialogue with a Dutch respondent – and with the audience of course. Moderators are Lisette Kootker and Hayley Mickleburgh.
Throughout the day, there will be five of these Science Dialogues, each featuring one international keynote speaker and one respondent in a one-hour session.
Topics will range from the search for Dutch whaling ships in the Arctic region and the spectacular analysis results of turf samples from the rampart of the Valkenburg legionary fortress, to the contribution of sedaDNA to research on the Dutch Limes. This is something you definitely don’t want to miss!
