RAIELSP Reconstructing Ancient (Biblical) Israel: The Exact and Life Sciences Perspective

Coordinator: TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY (IL)

The study of Ancient Israel s (hereafter AI) texts (the Hebrew Bible), material culture and history has been a keystone of European scholarship since the Enlightenment.

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €3.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2009-02-01 to 2014-01-31.
