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.
