EASA AAN Annual Meeting

As is now customary, an open talk with and about the EASA Applied Anthropology Network meeting and farewell to WWNA 2023.

Do I have to be vaccinated to attend the event?
No, COVID related restrictions have been lifted across Croatia.

Previous WWNAs have been hybrid, will I be able to attend this year online?
No, in keeping with this year’s theme, this year’s conference will only be available on-site on Brač. 

Do I need a travel insurance?
We do not require it but very strongly recommend it.

I have accessibility concerns, who should I talk to?
We will be working to make the conference as accessible and friendly as possible. We are hosting WWNA 2023 across two largely accessible venues: Supetar Cinema: Porat 27, 21400, Supetar and Supetar Primary School: Porat 25, 21400, Supetar. Please contact our Accessibility coordinator Allura Warden by emailing wwna@applied-anthropology.com and write “Accessibility” in the subject line. 

Can I bring my child?
Yes. We are child friendly, and it is an intergenerational conference after all. But please give us a heads up because depending on how old the child is, we may have to count it as an adult in terms of physical occupancy. Be advised: if you bring your child, we will attempt to make sure it becomes an anthropologist later in life. It’s the best future for anyone.
