A joint session organised by ARIADNE and DARIAH has been accepted by CAA 2025 which is being held in Athens, Greece on 5th-9th May 2025. Reusable Digital Research Workflows for Archaeology focuses of the work being undertaken in the ATRIUM Project.

The deadline for submissions has been extended and is now the 24th November 2024.

With this call, we invite colleagues to submit papers which present the research workflows they are planning, have created, or adopted, discuss the state of reusability of workflows in a specific topical area, or other relevant papers under the thematic of our call. We encourage individuals of varied professional identity and from outside Europe to submit. We also encourage submissions related to challenges in accessing existing infrastructure, and solutions developed to overcome these challenges, or suggested steps infrastructures should take to improve the discoverability and access to their services in the context of archaeological research workflows.
