Álex Corona, researcher of the Chair Álvaro d'Ors of the Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) of the University of Navarra, has joined the international project of research and knowledge dissemination academic ATLAS - Cities of Late Antiquity in the South of the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa during the 3rd to 8th centuries.

The project is promoted by three European institutions: the University of Hamburg (Germany), the University of La Rochelle (France) and the Escuela de Altos programs of study Hispánicos e Ibéricos Casa de Velázquez (Madrid, Spain). Its directors are Sabine Panzram of the University of Hamburg and Laurent Brassous of the University of La Rochelle. It is funded by the German and French governments through theANR-DFG Funding Programme for the Humanities and Social Sciences.

The goal of ATLAS is to produce, collect and disseminate - following the principle of open access - research relevant to a selection of the cities that formed part of the urban fabric of the ancient Roman provinces of Baetica and Africa Proconsularis. 

ATLAS envisages a programme of meetings in which, over the three years of project, the current results of research will be presented and shared. It also envisages the production of a digital database which will systematically collect and organise all the geographical and chronological references available for the cities chosen for the project. It will also organise a travelling exhibition , which will display digital reconstructions of these cities.
