From December 3 to 6, 2025, Nitra will host the 35th symposium entitled “Grundprobleme der frühgeschichtlichen Entwicklung im mittleren Donauraum” (Fundamental Problems of Early Historical Development in the Middle Danube Region). The first in a long series of meetings was held in 1988 at the University of Vienna. It aimed to stimulate the exchange of ideas and strengthen cooperation between Central European researchers specialising in the La Tène, Roman, and Migration periods. The successful first event gave rise to a tradition of annual meetings and discussions on current topics in early historical archaeology in the Middle Danube region. This year’s meeting is hosted and organised by the Institute of Archaeology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with its traditional partner institutions.
