With the featuring of specialists in the fields of architecture, civil engineering, linguistics, underwater archaeology, archaeological photography and museum studies, the program offers a unique, holistic understanding of the subject, and allowed me to gain a new vision on ways of understanding archaeology, and more thorough, interdisciplinary lenses of interpretation. This program will certainly benefit my future studies of the discipline, and left me feeling well-equipped with a fresh perspective going into fieldwork at Karabournaki. Thank you very much for this u i ue oppo tu it i a g eat it ! Julia Castner Bryn Mawr College USA These past t o eeks at the I te atio al Helle i U i e sit have been life changing to say the least. Every single one of the lectures has been fascinating and the professors have been extremely professional. This program not only educates you on ancient civilizations, but also allows you to network and converse with these great scholars. Furthermore, the city of Thessaloniki is extremely beautiful and took my breath away. This program is highly recommended and I will forever cherish these lessons and bonds that have been formed during the du atio of the su e s hool Julian George Anoussis Concordia University Montreal, Canada The IHU e pe ie e… The su e s hool p o ides to ea h student the perfect mix of interesting lectures, presented by academics highly qualified in their respective fields, given in a relaxing and inclusive environment along with the opportunity to meet and enjoy the company of fellow students from all parts of the world." "The summer school provides a great platform for any student to enhance or be introduced to the many facets and technologies in the field of archaeology” Annette Louise Dukes UNE University of New England, Armidale NSW, Australia I all honesty I didn't come to Greece for the Summer School, I came for the weather and the good food, not feta though. The courses of course were all e i te esti g ……. the met up to my expectations. Most interesting to me was the course of photography where the lecturer show how he used modern techniques to capture these ancient objects on camera. The University was lovely, I expected it to be a bit bigger, because of the big name, but in all fairness I think I would've liked it less if it was a bigger university, everyone is so nice to each other here. I've met some lovely people during the two weeks I've been here and I am certainly going to stay in touch with them, maybe even visit them in Canada or Turkey or Siberia. Thessaloniki is a nice it ….. Long story short, I liked it! Axel Schnoeckel Utrecht University The Netherlands The IHU e pe ie e… These past t o eeks ha e ee a solutel a azi g. The International Hellenic University has not only provided us with a great opportunity to learn more about ancient Greek technologies, history and culture, but it has also given us the chance to live and feel Greek culture as it is today. The lectures are varied, covering topics that are rarely taught in programs back in Canada, like marine archaeology and the importance of Minoan timber, to name but a few. Thessaloniki is beautiful city, full of museums and historical sites from ancient to contemporary. There is definitely something here for everyone! I highly recommend this Summer Field School to everyone – people from all cultural and academic backgrounds. Lastly, I would like to thank the staff at IHU for being such wonderful and helpful hosts. I can safely say that I will definitely be returning to this school once again in the future! Anna Menexis Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada The IHU e pe ie e… The 2016 Summer School of Ancient Technologies and Economies is a one-of-a-kind program. I believe that the knowledge me and my colleagues acquired during this 3-week long courses and excavation gives us a great advantage in our academic fields, especially if we are students of Classics (Ancient History and Archeology), Economics, Engineering etc. On top of the academic experience, this summer school provided us a great opportunity to meet with like-minded intelligent and interesting people. We intend to keep our new friendships last. Thank you to the organizers and the entire staff of the International Hellenic University.
