17th Nordic Bronze Age Symposium Visby June 7-10, 2027

About the symposium

The first Nordic Bronze Age Symposium was held in 1976 at Isegran, Oslo. Since then, the symposium has brought together a diverse community of researchers—field archaeologists, early‑career scholars, and senior specialists—people who share an interest in the Bronze Age of Northern Europe. The 17th Nordic Bronze Age Symposium aims to continue this 50‑year tradition.

The 2027 symposium will take place in Visby, beginning on the afternoon of Monday, 7 June, and continuing through Wednesday, 9 June 2027. Participants will also have the opportunity to join an excursion on Thursday, 10 June 2027.
