Valentin Kayser PortraitValentin Kayser - Administrator

In 2020, I joined ArkéoTopia as an external volunteer webmaster. I liked the association's actions and atmosphere, and became an active member in 2022. I brought my professional skills to manage the arkeotopia.org website, as well as various projects to popularize research (ArkeoGame project with the website quiz.arkeotopia.org) and support research (WikiTory program). That's why, in 2024, I wanted to take to go to the next level by joining the association's Board of Directors.

I joined Arkeotopia from the beginning of the adventure, mostly for friendship, but since I really took a pleasure to this fascinating discipline. I help the association in various areas: translation, administration, proofreading and field actions.
