Anthropologists from the University of Life Sciences in Wrocław will receive 300,000 euro for an educational and research project “1000 years of Upper Lusatia – people, towns, cities”. The money comes from the EU Regional Development Fund under the Cooperation Program INTERREG Poland-Saxony 2014-2020.

The scientific and educational project is carried out by researchers from the Department of Anthropology of the UPW. Its main purpose will be to show the cultural and natural heritage of Upper Lusatia in the context of changes that have taken place in the region over the last thousand years, that is, from the time when it became the Polish-Czech-German borderland.

The project is a continuation of previous research on the natural and cultural heritage of Upper Lusatia carried out in the disappearing villages of Toporów and Nowoszów, thanks to which scientists managed to trace human and environmental relations over the last 11,500 years – from the beginning of the Holocene to the present day.
