Short 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 University of Warsaw. 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, previously including Central Europe, to be any kind of restriction. It was named Central as it was initiated in Poland. Moreover, 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 by the organisers became 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.
