  First World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies

Invitation
You are cordially invited to participate in and attend the First World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies (WOCMES), to be held in the city of Mainz (Germany) from September 8 - 13, 2002.

The World Congress aims to address, explore and exchange information on the state-of-the-art in Middle Eastern studies in its broadest sense. The invitation is addressed to scholars, researchers, educators, students, professionals and other groups interested in studies on North Africa, the Middle East and the Muslim states of Central Asia as well as other regions of the world, which are directly or indirectly affected by affairs in these areas.

The World Congress was initiated by the Middle East Studies Association of North America (MESA) and will be held as joint congress of the European Association for Middle Eastern Studies (EURAMES), the Association Francaise pour l'Etude du Monde Arabe et Musulman (AFEMAM), the British Society for Middle East Studies (BRISMES), the German Middle East Studies Association (DAVO) and the Italian Società por gli Studi sul Medio Oriente (SeSaMO). It is also supported by Middle East studies associations in 14 other member countries of EURAMES comprising more than 3000 scholars.

Objectives
The World Congress will bring together experts from all branches of humanities, social sciences and related disciplines to share and exchange their research, experience and ideas about all aspects of Middle Eastern studies as well as to discuss methodological-theoretical and practical-political challenges and their potential solutions.

More than 130 associations, research centres, universities, international organizations and other institutions from all over the world have already announced meetings, symposia, plenary sessions, panels, roundtables, poster presentations, exhibitions as well as cultural events. You will find the actual panels and conferences with contact details and descriptions on this site.
The participation of high-ranking decision makers in politics, economics, cultural affairs and the media will promote the exchange of new ideas far beyond academic research.

The conference's working languages are English and French.
