WHO WE ARE

'Every little bit will count'

​

​

​

Our group, with over 100 members, comprises students, academic staff & members of the community who share our love of Greek history, archaeology & mythology.

​

The AAIA founder & director, the late Dr Alexander Cambitoglou, was inspired to recreate 'friends' groups as a means of raising money for teams of Australian archaeologists to excavate in Greece.It is an expensive undertaking & AAIA receives no Government funds.

​

The Greek community have been very generous in their support of the QFAAIA objectives.

​

Come & join us if you share the same passions.

WHAT WE DO

Our objectives are to support the activities of our parent body, the Institute based at University of Sydney,by raising the profile of the AAIA & fund raising for its work in Greece.

What is QFAAIA?

The Queensland Friends were established in 1986 by members of the academic staff and students in the department of Classics & Ancient History.The job of the QFAAIA was to promote the work of the AAIA within the University of Queensland & the wider Brisbane community.

The group also forged links to the Brisbane's Greek community which then created the Greek Community Archaeological Scholarship. QFAAIA's additional role is to raise funds to support AAIA activities in Greece such as archaeological field work.

 With the Greek scholarship established, a UQ student was selected to participate in the AAIA dig at Torone, northern Greece in 1987.
