This project is the successor to the earlier project ARIADNE, and is founded on its results, supporting the research community created by the earlier project, developing the relationships with the principal stakeholders, such as the most important archaeological associations in Europe, researchers, heritage professionals, national heritage agencies, etc. The new expanded association covers the whole of Europe, and includes leaders in different archaeological domains such as Paleoanthropology

IPERION HS connects researchers in the Humanities and Natural Sciences and nurtures a transdisciplinary culture of exchange and cooperation so that the European Research Area can grow. Within the project, the CENIEH is leading the tasks relating to Paleontology and Paleoanthropology.
