In 2014, EXARC aims to expand its membership through initiatives like the new Light Membership, which offers online access as an introductory option. Key goals include enhancing social media presence, increasing volunteer involvement, and enriching our interactive map with 100 new European venues. Additionally, we'll publish two printed Journal Digests and four online issues, co-host conferences in Europe, and improve publicity in the USA. We also seek to establish ongoing collaborations with archaeological institutions and expand our outreach through various projects.
