The Cyprus Institute (CyI) will host on March 20th and 21st, a delegation of high ranking scientists from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), the largest archaeological scientific and administrative body in Israel in charge of the research, curation, preservation, conservation and public outreach of Israel’s cultural heritage patrimony.
Dr. David Gabai, Deputy Director for computing systems and Dr. Gideon Avni, Deputy Director for research at the IAA will visit the institute to learn about the various research methodologies and techniques used by the scientists of CyI’s Science and Technology Research Center (STARC).
