The University of Latvia (UL) Livonian Institute, in cooperation with the University of Tartu Collegium for Transdisciplinary Studies in Archaeology, Genetics, and Linguistics, is organising the international interdisciplinary conference “Livonica 3 + Minor Finnic Languages 2 = 5”. The conference will take place in Riga from June 26 to June 28.
The joint conference brings historians, archaeologists, geneticists, anthropologists, folklorists, linguists, and other researchers together to explore the Central Baltic area, Livonians and minor Finnic languages. The special focus in this conference is towards contacts. The purpose of the conference is to give researchers working on any of these subjects the opportunity to present their current research, get acquainted with the new research in related fields as well as participate in formal and informal discussions, and most importantly find new opportunities for collaboration.
