Research

The Egypt Exploration Society is the leading UK organisation supporting and promoting Egyptian cultural heritage. Since our founding, we have coordinated and facilitated research projects across the northern Nile valley. Today, we take people-centred approaches to heritage research whether projects focus on fieldwork, or desk-based study in museums and archives around the world. Take a look below to see what our members and donors make possible.


Funding Opportunities

Centenary Awards

The Centenary Awards are intended to encourage early-career Egyptologists and therefore applicants must be current postgraduate research students or within five years of having been awarded their PhD/DPhil. The Society welcomes applications to support archaeological fieldwork, museum/archive-based research, publication/dissemination or engagement activities.
