Ukraine Relief
Shortly after the beginning of the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine, the DAI organized and provided assistance and support for the Ukrainian colleagues and the ukrainian cultural heritage. The measures ranged from the delivery of protective materials to the provision of secure data storage and scholarships.

Our Vision
As an archaeological research institute, our interest lies not only in understanding societies of the past. Answering questions about dealing with crises, cultural identity, and adaptation to changing environmental conditions is rather also of timeless interest for our coexistence today.
We want to understand the origins and development of technical innovations, explore the emergence and transformation of settlement areas, everyday life and trade, trace the human impact on climate and environmental change and investigate its effects.

Climate & Sustainability
The global consequences of climate change are among the great challenges of our time. In its socio-historical perspective, archaeological research also allows us to trace these long-term effects on human communities. Thanks to our long tradition of archaeological and scientific cooperation, the DAI offers a unique research environment to pursue these questions.
