CIPEG

International Committee for Egyptology

The mission of CIPEG is to promote collaboration among colleagues for the preservation of Egyptian collections, monuments and sites. In addition, it supports collections of Egyptian art and archaeology, particularly smaller collections, within the framework of ICOM and in close co-operation with the International Association of Egyptologists (IAE). CIPEG has developed an international cataloguing project of Egyptian objects in museum collections, Corpus Antiquitatum Aegyptiacarum (CAA), and a multilingual Egyptological thesaurus. Members of CIPEG also support museological projects in Egypt. These include the development and promotion of educational programmes for children and adults. CIPEG also seeks to promote collaboration between museums, universities and research institutes. Members receive a yearly newsletter and may participate in annual meetings.
