Dear Colleagues,

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the General Assembly of the International
Association of Egyptologists cordially invite Egyptologists from all
countries to participate in the Eleventh International Congress of
Egyptologists, which will be held in Bibliotheca Alexandria, Alexandria,
Egypt, from 13 to 20 September 2013.

The congress will be organized by the Calligraphy Center in Bibliotheca
Alexandria under the auspices of the International Association of
Egyptologists and the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Egypt. The aim is to
provide a meeting point for all Egyptologists based on some selected
themes.

The International Congress of Egyptologists is traditionally open to all
areas of Egyptological research, and its goal is to seek for research
papers focusing on all major themes of Egyptology. However, the
contributions are organized on a series of major themes within Egyptology:

1- The Ancient Egyptian Language in the form of writings and inscriptions.
2- The Cultural Heritage in ancient Egypt.
3- Funerary beliefs and practices.
4- Egyptian Archeology, Art and Religion.
5- Sociology, Literature, Economy and Philology.
6- Egyptian History, Foreign Relations and Diplomacy.
7- Fieldwork and Site management.

The ICE 2013 organizing committee will administer a refereed congress with
the Bibliotheca Alexandria, whereby abstracts will be peer-reviewed. In
the same manner, articles submitted for publication of the ICE 2013
proceedings will also be subject to peer-review. Also proposals of the
keynote speakers and the closed session’s papers will be considered by the
scientific committee of the ICE and BA, and time slots will be allocated
upon approval of the proposal.

More themes may be added as the overall subject-matter of the proposed
papers becomes apparent. Papers are to be sent to
Calligraphy.Center@bibalex.org or to ahmed.mansour@bibalex.org.

Looking forward to seeing you in September 2013,

Ahmed Mansour, Deputy Director, Calligraphy Center, Bibliotheca Alexandria
James P. Allen, President, IAE
Laure Pantalacci, Vice-President, IAE
Ursula Verhoeven-van Elsbergen, General Secretary, IAE
