MAES organises an annual lecture programme for members and non-members alike. Usually held on the second Monday of each month, most lectures are given by well-known Egyptologists from the UK and occasionally from overseas.
Ramesses III
In addition to the visiting speakers, we also encourage our members to talk to the Society about their own research or interests in ancient Egypt. Many of our members have gone on to become established lecturers in their own right and regularly give talks to other Egyptology societies in the UK and abroad.
Here’s our programme for the 2019-2020 season which includes our annual study in March!
POSSIBLE MEETING CANCELLATIONS
In light of the coronavirus outbreak and the movement restrictions imposed by the government, we may have to cancel our May and June meetings but will announce this nearer the time so please check back here. We hope to be able to reschedule postponed lectures at a future date.
Stay safe, everyone, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back as soon as circumstances allow.
