Over the past three years, members of the UNITWIN Network for Underwater Archaeology have carried out a wide range of projects, events, and initiatives across the globe. From fieldwork and training to conferences and collaborative research, these activities reflect the strength and diversity of our international community.
As we prepare the official UNITWIN Activities Report 2023–2025, we are also sharing highlights here on our website. This retrospective series will showcase the contributions of our member institutions, offering a closer look at their work and its impact on the protection, research, and promotion of underwater cultural heritage.
Keep an eye on our website as we share these activities. In the meantime, here are a few photos to give a first glimpse of the inspiring work carried out by our members.
