Dear colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to the fourth NINO Annual Meeting on Thursday 26 January 2023, in Utrecht. The NINO Annual Meeting is a yearly meeting of (advanced) students and researchers in the Netherlands who are active in Ancient Near Eastern Studies. The meeting is organized in cooperation with yearly alternating host universities, in 2023 the Research Institute for History and Art History (OGK) at Utrecht University. We hope to make the NINO Annual Meeting 2023 an in-person event.
The program on 26 January will include several keynote lectures on the theme “Othering and Identity”. In addition, we will program a series of open “lightning sessions”: short presentations by researchers and (MA/PhD) students on their current or planned projects (5 to 10 minutes). The aim of the Meeting is to keep in touch with fellow researchers and discuss recent research. Presentations are to be held in English or Dutch.
At the end of the sessions, the winner and runner-up of the NINO BA Thesis Prize 2022 will be announced, and the prize will be awarded to the best MA thesis on the Ancient Near East incl. Egypt (for more information, see the NINO website).
Call for Lightning Sessions
We invite brief abstracts (c. 100 words) for the lightning sessions, to be submitted via the form on the NINO website. Please encourage your MA and PhD students to do the same. The Call for Lightning Sessions is open until 15 November. After that date we will finalize the program and announce the NINO Annual Meeting more broadly.
We are looking forward to your reactions!
With best regards,
on behalf of
Rolf Strootman (Universiteit Utrecht)
