Thanks to the "Amorce" scheme, the institute has supported the structuring of a program focused on the Tipasa site. Our work, focusing on the geosciences, is now financed by the Fonds de solidarité pour les projets innovants, in partnership with the French Embassy, the Algerian Centre national de recherche en archéologie and the Centre universitaire de Tipaza.
