EXPLO Exploring the dynamics and causes of prehistoric land use change in the cradle of European farming

Coordinator: UNIVERSITAET BERN (CH)

European societies today face unprecedented environmental change. Understanding how human societies responded to past challenges of environmental change relates to the interface between culture and environment. The EXPLO project proposes a novel interdisciplinary approach to investigate key questions regarding the interaction between past human ways of life, land use and the wider environment through a unique combination of archaeological, biological and dynamic mathematical modelling approaches.Archaeological prehistoric sites in lakes of northern Greece and the southern Balkans provide an e…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €6.4M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2019-03-01 to 2025-02-28.
