Partners & Funders
The research institutions, funding bodies, and partner organisations that make the OVIS project possible.
Funding
OVIS is funded by the European Union under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions postdoctoral fellowship programme (Horizon Europe, Grant Agreement No. 101XXX). The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions support researchers at all stages of their careers, irrespective of age and nationality, and fund research, innovation, and training in all scientific domains.

Host Institution
Cardiff University hosts the OVIS fellowship. The School of History, Archaeology and Religion (SHARE) provides a leading research environment in archaeological science, with state-of-the-art isotope and biomolecular laboratories. Cardiff's isotope facility enables the strontium, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen analyses central to the OVIS project.
Partners
The IAUB (Institut d'Arqueologia de la Universitat de Barcelona) is the researcher's secondment institution. It brings expertise in Western Mediterranean prehistory, zooarchaeology, and isotope methods in Iberian and Balearic contexts.
The UIB provides access to Balearic Islands archaeological collections and expertise in Balearic Bronze Age prehistory. Key collaborators include researchers in the zooarchaeology and prehistory groups.
The CSIC collaborates on stable isotope analysis and provides comparative datasets from Iberian Peninsula Bronze Age sites, essential for building the regional reference framework.
The Museu de Menorca holds key faunal collections from Bronze and Iron Age sites across the island. The museum provides sampling access and curatorial expertise for the Balearic component of OVIS.
