2019-2023 H2020-RISE: Marie Curie grant agreement No. 823826 BE-ARCHAEO: BEYOND ARCHAEOLOGY The main core of BE-ARCHAEO is the archaeological excavation of the Tobiotsuka Kofun (Soja city in Okayama Prefecture, Japan). Archaeologists (from both Europe and Japan) will collaborate with a large team of interlinked archaeometry experts (i.e.: chemists, physicists, biologists, geologists, petrographers, veterinary surgeons and soil scientists) to carry on a very advanced research focused on a major period of the old history of Japan.
2019-2022 INFN CHNet_NICHE Development of a neutron imaging setup at TRIGA-LENA.
