Abstract

Europe is celebrating Archaeology, everybody is invited! Mr Pascal Ratier, who is in charge of events and colloquia for the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP), is the coordinator of the European Archaeology Days. Since his arrival at the INRAP in 2014, he has been organizing the event, at first at a national level and, since 2019, at the European scale. Mr Ratier has a background in political sciences, but has been working in the cultural sector since the very start of his career. Interested in archaeology, he developed a personal taste for heritage interpretation and science communication through his work at the INRAP.
