The association ALTERITAS – Interazioni tra i popoli – a research institution founded in 2009, is devoted to studying interactions among peoples of different origins, languages, cultures and traditions in the past and present. The Veneto region also accredits it as an organisation dedicated to migration issues since 2015. Thanks to a network of about 50 scholars from different disciplines (archaeology, linguistics, anthropology, history of art, ancient, medieval and modern history), and the collaboration of many research partners and institutions, Alteritas is engaged in research projects characterized by a wide range of topics and approaches in humanities and social sciences.
