The research centre Roots of Europe – Language, Culture and Migrations is closely connected to the study programme of Comparative Indo-European Linguistics (a specialisation of the BA and MA programmes in Linguistics) at the University of Copenhagen. It serves as a coordinating unit for a range of externally funded research projects that are concerned with the linguistic and cultural prehistory of Europe in a cross-disciplinary cooperation between Indo-European comparative linguistics, archaeology, comparative mythology and population genetics.
