The conference agenda also includes a workshop on forgeries as part of the activities of the international Ancient Coins Counterfeits Scientific Network. 

A separate workshop is dedicated to the results achieved in the project "Ancient Thrace in Numbers" and the future development of Thracology in a digital environment.
