NIT organizes public lectures between September and December 2023 focusing on archaeological heritage in urban contexts. You can find the topics and speakers of each lecture below.
NIT Urban Heritage Lab is an initiative of the Netherlands Institute in Turkey that investigates the role of tangible and intangible cultural heritage in achieving inclusive, circular, and sustainable cities. As a part of this initiative, the Archaeological Heritage and Liveable Cities course takes place in the autumn of 2023.
