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

The Egypt Exploration Society annually offers a range of funding opportunities to support research projects, including archaeological fieldwork, museum/archive-based research, publication/dissemination, or engagement activities. We advertise these at specific points in the year, so please check our Current Opportunities page for any open calls or sign up to our newsletter for announcements sent straight to your inbox.
