These international meetings are offering great moments of mutual transfer of knowledge between prehistorians and protohistorians from the five continents, and where they present the latest results of their research.
They are also the opportunity for the different scientific commissions to discuss the common scientific topics, or focus on specific geographic areas or to be reorganized.Since 29th September 1955, the UISPP has been a member of the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences, which is affiliated to UNESCO.The general topic of the congress is „Interdisciplinarity in Archaeology” other related topics will be suggested and developed by the different scientific commissions.Please find more information about UISPP here (link către https://www.uispp.org/).
