ICAC- Institut Català d'Arqueologia Clàssica

The Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC) is a public centre for classical archaeology research established by the Government of Catalonia and the Rovira i Virgili University, with the participation of the Inter-University Council of Catalonia. Its purpose is to research and disseminate the classical civilisation and culture and offer advanced training to researchers.

The Institute undertakes its task based on collaboration and synergies with universities and research institutions in Catalonia working in the same field. Its aim is to become an international scientific benchmark in this area. As a research centre, it has established investigative lines and programmes and employs research staff for this purpose.

Its area of knowledge is classical archaeology in the widest possible sense, both geographically (the Mediterranean Arc and the area in which the classical cultures developed) and chronologically (encompassing the Greek and Roman civilisations and other peoples with direct links to them). less
