The International Association for the Study of Arabia (IASA) has granted us hosting this year to mark the important the 70th jubilee of our pioneering – (Carlsberg founded) - Arabian Gulf expeditions (est. 1953-). The conference will gather researchers from all across the globe and cover topics including archaeology, history, epigraphy, languages, literature, art, culture, ethnography, and geography from the beginnings to the present or, in the case of political and social history, to the end of the Ottoman Empire. The proceedings of the conference with be published in June 2024, and a book "Bronze Age Arabia" based on a special session will be published in 2025.
