In the context of peri-pandemic restrictions and interpersonal distancing, 2021 saw the birth of a new initiative from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) to connect research and technical staff working in archaeology: ArchaeologyHub-CSIC. So far, the initiative integrates 212 people from 20 research centers and 41 research groups and units. ArchaeologyHub-CSIC belongs to a wider strategy to adapt the priorities and needs of research for the coming decades (CSIC Scientific Challenges: Towards 2030), aiming for a more sustainable future. This has materialized in 14 white books that frame out the Institution’s general scientific strategy. Due to its fundamental interdisciplinary nature, archaeology appears in eight of these books, and has thus become a connecting force throughout the process.
