On behalf of the Organizing committee, we would like to invite all scholars with interest in Ancient Egyptian archaeology, culture, history and language, from prehistory to the Arab conquest of Egypt, to participate the 7th International Conference of Egyptologists. Egypt 2015: Perspectives of Research.
The conference is co-organised by a few scholarly institutions, the Department of History, The Center for Croatian Studies, the University of Zagreb (represented by dr. Mladen Tomorad), Croatia, the Croatian Association for Medical Anthropology of the Croatian Medical Association (represented by dr. Mislav Čavka), and the Department of Ancient Cultures of the Pułtusk Academy of Humanities in Pułtusk, Poland (represented by dr Joanna Popielska-Grzybowska). The conference is also supported by the Croatian Institute of History, Croatian National Board of Historical Sciences and Croatian Historical Society.
The conference will be held in the Croatian Institute of History (Zagreb, Opatička 10 – The Upper Town – the old city) from 2-7 June, 2015.
Some Words on History of the CECE conferences:
First meeting took place in Warsaw in 1999. The idea came from Dr Andrzej Ćwiek supported by Dr Joanna Popielska-Grzybowska and Joanna Kociankowska-Bożek of the Institute of Archaeology of the Warsaw University. Except for three first symposia held in Warsaw in 1999, 2001 and 2004, the Conference was organised in Budapest in 2006 (Dr Andreas Gulyas). The Fifth Conference was hosted by the Pułtusk Academy of Humanities in Pułtusk, organised by Dr Joanna Popielska-Grzybowska in 2009 and the Sixth in Cracow by the Institute of Archaeology of the Jagiellonian University (Dr Mariusz Jucha, Dr Joanna Dębowska-Ludwin and Dr Piotr Kołodziejczyk)We would not like the conference title including Central Europe to be any kind of restriction. It was named Central as it was organised for the first time in Poland. Initially it was a conference directed to younger generations, but not exclusively and all young at hearts were always invited as well. As time went the organisers became older and older and consequently the conference changed its profile. However, all the time it is intended to present current research and its perspectives covering possibly all spheres of interest in present-day Egyptology.
The main topics:
- Aegyptiaca and Egyptomania
- archaeological research in Egypt
- art studies
- artifacts studies (analysis, interpretations, iconography, typology etc)
- chronology
- eco-history
- medical studies, forensic and radiological research
- historical research from prehistory to the Arab conquest
- history of Egyptology
- Isaic studies
- language studies
- museum collections and databases
- mythology and religion
- studies of travel to Egypt
Each presentation shall last 20 minutes plus 10 minutes discussion for each paper.
The official language of the conference is English.
Deadline for submission of abstracts is January 25, 2015, with notification of acceptance by February 1, 2015.
