International Academic Projects Ltd (IAP) was formed in London in 1989 as an international educational charity whose aims are to help promote education, training and research into conservation, archaeology, anthropology and other related fields. IAP was initially based at the Institute of Archaeology, but since 1998 has been operated from a larger location at 6 Fitzroy Square, London.

Professional development courses are offered throughout the year in Britain and abroad. The majority of the courses take place in Britain and Europe from June through August. We offer an annual series of short courses (typically between 3 and 5 days in duration) in conservation, museum studies and archaeology. The courses, led by international experts, often address very particular types of knowledge or skills. For a full programme, please contact IAP at the above address.

IAP also co-operates with institutions and colleagues abroad to provide training courses for museum, conservation and archaeological personnel. Courses outside of the UK have been held in Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Australia, the USA, Austria, Denmark, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Ireland and Finland.
