HistoGenes Integrating genetic, archaeological and historical perspectives on Eastern Central Europe, 400-900 CE

Coordinator: OESTERREICHISCHE AKADEMIE DER WISSENSCHAFTEN (AT)

Few parts of Europe witnessed so many population shifts in a few centuries as the Carpathian Basin in 400-900 CE. In this macro-region along the middle Danube, Pannonians, Romans, Goths, Gepids, Longobards, Avars, Bulgars, Slavs, Franks and many others came and went. This is an intriguing test case for the relationship between ethnic identities constructed in texts, cultural habitus attested in the archaeological record, and genetic profiles that can now be analysed through ancient DNA.

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.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €10.0M toward a total project budget of €10.0M — a funding rate of 100%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 6.7 years from 2020-05-01 to 2026-12-31.
