CitiGen researchers attend HERA “Uses of the Past” conference

15/03/2018

This week members of the CitiGen network attended a conference in Vienna held by our funders, Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA).

The conference focused on the theme “Uses of the Past” and brought together members of the 18 joint research projects currently being financed by HERA. The first day included round table discussions on how each research project is shedding light on different uses of the past. The second day focused on initiatives and ideas for disseminating humanities research in Europe.

HERA would like to thank the participants in the Mid-Term Conference "Uses of the Past". They really demonstrated that #humanitiesmatter. You can find out more about all the JRPs at our website https://t.co/us4A7nQtmM. pic.twitter.com/c5jbahboXB

CitiGen is an international research project that aims to study how modern and ancient genomic data are being used to shape public understandings of the past.

Headquartered at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, CitiGen involves academic partners from Iceland, Ireland, and the UK, as well as non-academic partners from the fields of genetic ancestry testing, family tree research, and public engagement with science.

The project is funded by the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) Joint Research Programme “Uses of the Past”.
