It is a great honor for us, at the West University of Timișoara, to organize the anniversary XX UISPP World Congress in Timișoara. After a long period of time in which the state of the pandemic has affected all the major scientific events, we look with confidence to returning to live presentations and joyful debates on the hottest topics in Pre- and Proto-historical archaeology, and also on the cutting-edge approaches leading to the ever-new achievements in the science of archaeology.

West University of Timișoara (WUT) is the main higher education institution and research hub in Western Romania. Here, we encourage inspiring and competent research, education, and artistic creation with due regard to academic rigour as we scrutinize the future through how we bring together advanced knowledge from various disciplines taking a great focus on trans and interdisciplinary research. This is why we fully resonate with the general theme of this edition of the UISPP congress which is Interdisciplinarity in Archaeology. Beyond the prospect of a permanent renewal and necessary synchronization with the global scientific landscape, the interdisciplinary vision in archaeology brings new hopes for the conservation of endangered archaeological heritage through the latest technologies in the field of digitization.
