Innovative aspects of the ERASMUS IP Archaeological Landscapes are:
* the multidisciplinary framework of the programme for the transfer of the knowledge and skills needed to work in interdisciplinary groups to record, document, manage and present archaeological landscapes
* transnational sharing of experience and best practice between the participating European institutes and those in Izmir,Turkey
* practical testing of theoretical principles, objectives and methods developed on the basis of other examples through application in a new context that is culturally integral to Europe and yet administratively a non-EU/EU-candidate partner of the Council of Europe
* establishment of innovative ICT-based working methods and their integration in the training and education of professionals who will undertake design commissions for the preservation and use of archaeological landscapes
