Association pour la Diffusion de l'Information Archéologique (ADIA)

ADIA, ‘Association for the Dissemination of archeological information’ has existed since 1985 and has the role to spread knowledge to the general public in the fields of Prehistory and Human evolution. The diffusion media are varied: development of Museum halls in these areas, creation of educational workshops for primary and secondary school students, publications, website and virtual museums. ADIA was also jointly responsible for the scientific content of l’Espace de l’Homme de Spy. In recent years, ADIA has focused on the development of multimedia tools. A Virtual Museum of Prehistory will be put online soon, presenting the Palaeolithic art pieces scanned in 3D. Another website is in preparation on « Ishango », a famous African archaeological site. "Anthropology" workshops for secondary school students also now use a tablet application developed by ADIA.
