Launched in May 2020, the ambitious HistoGenes project set out to gain a deeper understanding of the population history of Eastern Central Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire, during the period of major migrations and early medieval political and cultural transformations (AD 400–900). By combining the most advanced methods of genetics, archaeology, anthropology, and history, the international research team aimed to shed new light on this transformative era. From February 25–27, 2026, participants gathered in Vienna for a final conference to discuss and present the most important findings of their work—concluding this year—and to explore possible future research perspectives.

The study was conducted as part of a joint research programme of the ELTE RCH Institute of Archaeogenomics and the MTA–ELTE RCH Momentum BASES Research Group, which investigates the history of horses in the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE.
