Viktória Kiss, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Archaeology and Head of the Lendület Mobility Research Group, won support from the Academy in the “advanced” category. Her successful project is entitled Bronze Age Social and Economic Strategies in the Middle Danube Region: Digital DataBASE (2500–1500 BC). The Lendület BÁZIS Research Group, to be established from 1st of December, aims to develop a structured digital system for storing multidisciplinary datasets generated by previous research (archaeological, bioarchaeological, archaeometric, chronological and site-network data), ensuring their recording, preservation and multi-level dissemination. To advance understanding of social and economic strategies during the Bronze Age, the project will create state-of-the-art, cloud-based thematic databases. These will form part of a new initiative at the Institute of Archaeology, titled Digital Archaeological Atlas of Hungary.
