On November 30th, the Faculty of Archaeology is organising the Leiden Archaeological Network & Career Event (LANCE). The goal of this event is to bring our students and researchers into contact with our alumni and the archaeological work environment. This will happen by means of lectures, workshops, and an internship & job market with stands.
During the event, the university, agencies, municipalities and alumni can bring each other up to speed on their research, current job activities, the transition from training to work field, and possibilities to establish co-operations. At the same time, students get the opportunity to explore job opportunities in the archaeological work field, and internships in particular.

Speakers
Sandra Beckerman is a doctor in the Archaeology and a Member of Parliament for the SP. Recently, two of her motions have been accepted. The Minister, together with the archaeological commercial sector, is obliged to involve the wider public in archaeology, to adhere to the Treaty of Malta (Valetta). Moreover, the Minister needs to come up with a plan of action for the heritage and archaeology of the Second World War. In her lecture Beckerman will make the point that archaeologists need to get their voices heard in the political debate. For the future of our past is too important to leave it in the hands of politicians.
