The First World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies (WOCMES) in 2002 was initiated by MESA. Since then, this World Congress has become the most important international event on studies in social sciences and humanities related to the Middle East, North Africa and the Muslim states of Central Asia and the relations of this region with other parts of the world.
More than 3000 scholars, researchers, students and professionals drawn from a broad range of academic, educational and other institutions, organizations and associations from around the world participated in the last WOCMES in Seville.
If your institute or university is interested in hosting the next World Congress in 2025, please send me your application with the following information:
– Name and address of the institution; persons responsible for the organisation of the World Congress;
– Previous experience in hosting major conferences;
– Proposed location of WOCMES-6 (visa restrictions, accessibility and distance to nearest international airport, availability of lecture halls for up to 30 parallel sessions and up to 2500 participants);
