Poreklo in zgodovina prebivalcev na tleh Evrope sta v dobri meri še nepoznana, zamolčana ali napačno predstavljena. Projekt Korenine je namenjen odkrivanju jezikovnih, kulturnih in drugih podatkov o staroselcih v Evropi iz različnih vidikov, kar lahko pripomore k boljšemu poznavanju evropskega zgodovinskega dogajanja v daljni preteklosti.
Jedro posvetovanj predstavljajo arheološki in pisni viri, zemljepisna imena, jezikoslovne in genetske sledi, verovanja, legende, običaji in drugi podatki, ki osvetljujejo organizacijo, sporazumevanje in sodelovanje evropskih staroselcev v posameznih dobah preteklosti.
Cilj projekta je osvetlitev spreminjanja bivalnih razmer in človeškega delovanja od zadnje ledene dobe do razpada Rimskega cesarstva ter predstaviti vse staroselske značilnosti, ki so še v današnjem času ugotovljive v genetskem zapisu, v jezikovnih podobnostih in drugih značilnostih in to v izvirni ali v spremenjeni obliki.

The early history of the European nations is still not well known. The aim of the Korenine Project is to discover and disclose historical, linguistic, cultural and other sources of information about the ancient inhabitants of Europe, taking into account various aspects, which can contribute to an improved knowledge of the events in the distant past.
The core of the conference should be archaeological facts and written documents, toponyms, genetic traces, beliefs, mythology, legends, customs and other data which could help to reveal the organisation, communications and cooperation of the ancient inhabitants in Europe during particular epochs of the distant past.
What is expected and most welcome is to elucidate the changes of the living conditions and activities during the last Ice Age, after it, as well as the whole historical period BC and during the first millennium AD. It is important to bring forward all the significant characteristics of the ancient population, which can still be established today in the genetic records, linguistic similarities and other features, which are either preserved in the original or changed forms.
