AvAnt Ge is a non-profit organization whose goal is to promote and share interest and knowledge of Antiquity with the public, through the organization of la Nuit Antique.
It is composed of scholars, professors, students and mediation professionals. By developing and fostering effective synergies between the various actors mentioned, as well as with several institutions in the region, it relies on the vitality of research in this field.
