ITP Conference Grant report from Sayed Abuelfadl Othman Ahmed (Egypt, ITP Fellow 2016)

This year we were delighted to support Sayed Abuelfadl Othman Ahmed (Egypt, ITP Fellow 2016) with an ITP Conference Grant.

Sayed, who is currently Supervisor of the Museum Exhibitions Galleries at The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) in Cairo – https://nmec.gov.eg/ – used his support grant to travel to The XIIIth International Congress of Egyptologists being held at Leiden University in the Netherlands from 6 August to 11 August 2023.

The International Congress of Egyptologists is the largest regular gathering of Egyptologists and specialists from related fields worldwide. It is held every four years, each time at a different host institution, and provides hundreds of scholars with the opportunity to share their research with colleagues.

At the conference, Sayed presented a paper on ‘Teaching, Research and Public Access at the University Museums of Archaeology in Egypt’. Sayed introduced his skills and experience in the field of museums where he is a specialist and had the opportunity to meet experts from across the world and enhance his global network of culture and heritage professionals.

We were delighted to be able to support Sayed to attend and speak at the conference in the Netherlands and to share his final report on his experiences. Read the report here.
