2nd AUTOMATA Plenary Meeting (Bordeaux, 3 & 4 February 2026)
On 3 and 4 February 2026, Université Bordeaux Montaigne and Inria welcomed around thirty members of the consortium of the European project AUTOMATA for a two-day working meeting in Bordeaux.
The programme offered partners the opportunity to visit the Archéopôle d’Aquitaine and discover its advanced laboratory facilities and analytical technologies dedicated to archaeological research, material characterisation, dating, imaging and the study of cultural heritage objects and remains. The consortium also visited Inria’s research facilities and the INRAP site in Bègles, including its storage areas and laboratories. These visits have been combined with roundtable discussions aimed at placing the AUTOMATA project within the broader context of technologies supporting archaeological research.
The event was concluded with a plenary technical meeting, during which partners reviewed progress across the project’s different Work Packages and ongoing activities.
