VIEW ALL Programs COVID-19 Notifications & Updates The IFR Board of Directors and staff have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 summer field school season, including both international and domestic programs. This decision is necessary to ensure the well-being and safety of our students and faculty. As we have been monitoring the COVID-19 crisis over the past few months, we considered the unpredictability of travel and necessity of adhering to our strict field school standards and protocols. We have communicated this decision to our field school directors and other partners across the globe. IFR’s goal remains to provide the highest quality field schools to students for generations to come. IFR supports scholars, researchers, local students, and people of communities-in-need in countries around the world. They will be hit hard by the ripple effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The IFR is already hard at work to increase the number of Winter, 2021 programs, and we plan to offer a full range of programs in Summer, 2021. We know the IFR will emerge from this challenge stronger and better. We are eager to celebrate a decade of great field programs in 2021 and return to actively supporting our global network of researchers and communities local to field sites. At this time, all applications to our Summer, 2020 programs have been put on hold and will not be processed. However, we invite everyone to stay tuned for next year as we are looking forward to a strong roster of 2021 programs that offers the best of this season and more. With gratitude, The IFR Team Academically rigorous, peer-reviewed field schools, ensuring top quality of both research and field training.

I didn't have any background in Archaeology, but I knew that I wanted to learn more about it. Malvieu is a fascinating yet challenging site which makes it more rewarding. Dr. Gorgues, Dr. Bertaud, and everyone else were patient and made sure that I was learning and enjoying myself at the same time. The whole team is great and being surrounded by such people made me motivated to strive for more.
