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 overseas.
Here’s our programme for the 2020-2021 season which includes our annual study in March and an extra study day in May!
In light of the coronavirus restrictions, we are holding online lectures via zoom until further notice.

Online lectures are via Zoom and will take place from 8pm to 9pm (doors open 7:30pm) with time after for questions. Lectures are free to MAES members who will receive a link via email.
