VENUE
The University of Milan is an established center for research on North Africa and an emerging hub for studies on Southwest Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean. With a strong interdisciplinary and international outlook, its research spans from prehistory to the Medieval period, fostering collaboration across diverse fields and perspectives.
These strengths make it an ideal venue for the 8th edition of the Broadening Horizons conference, bringing together scholars to explore innovative approaches and expand the boundaries of research on these interconnected regions.
