On 19th September 1991, the 5300-year-old Iceman, commonly known as “Ötzi”, was discovered on the Tisenjoch in South Tyrol, Italy. Over the last 30 years, a wide range of studies have revealed all kinds of interesting details about the Iceman’s life circumstances and his state of health. To mark the 30th anniversary of the discovery of Ötzi, we will be holding the online “Iceman - quo vadis?” symposium and you are invited to join us for this special event. The purpose of this symposium is to look at challenges and opportunities for future research on the Iceman. The symposium will be held instead of this year’s World Congress on Mummy Studies, originally planned for September 2020, but now postponed until September 2022, due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
