We are thrilled to announce that this year our COST action was able to finance 9 Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) and 1 conference participation from members of the SaltAges COST action.
Congratulations to our Conference Grant awardee !!
Dr. Ivana Pandzic from Banja Luka University (Bosnia and Herzegovina) went to the Fifth International Congress on the Anthropology of Salt in Rzeszow (Poland), 24-28 March 2025.
She presented work related to SaltAges WP2 that she undertook in collaboration with Banja Luka University, Middle Tennessee State University and University of North Carolina (USA) :
« Exploring Multifunctionality at Salines: Residue Analyses of Salt Production Vessels from the Southeastern United States and Eastern Europe »

Do you have facilities that SaltAges scientists could use? Do you have samples or data that you need someone to analyse?
Could you provide technical training for a SaltAges scientist from another institute?
If so, post the opportunity on our virtual matchmaking board, so that applicants for SaltAges Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM) can get in contact with you and develop their STSM grant application.
