This year the Egypt Exploration Society will, once again, support early career Egyptologists by offering travel grants to assist attendance to the sixteenth Current Research in Egyptology conference. This international event will be held at the University of Oxford from the 15th – 18th April 2015. The EES grants allow Egyptology students and independent researchers around the world the opportunity to journey to the UK for the purpose of attending the event and sharing their current research projects focusing on the conference theme ‘Travel in Ancient Egypt’.

Last year's grant holders at CRE XV, held at UCL and KCL, with Dr Chris Naunton and Carl Graves 

We are pleased to announce that the following individuals have now been selected to receive grants towards their attendance at the conference. Each will be presenting a paper or poster at the conference and we hope to see many of you there. A full schedule for the conference can be found here.
