On Wednesday 25, Thursday 26 and Friday 27 June 2025, the University of Strasbourg campus will host the sixth edition of the Congress of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, organised by the French Academic network "GIS MOMM" in partnership with the ARCHE, ARCHIMEDE, DRES, GEO and LINCS laboratories, the Strasbourg Institute of Islamology, the IISMM and the SEMOMM.

As in previous years, the conference will include an inaugural lecture, single (4 papers) or double (8 papers) workshops, round tables, a book fair, a film series and various cultural events. The workshops may cover one or more fields of the humanities and social sciences (anthropology, archaeology and art history, law, economics, geography, history, Islamology and religious sciences, linguistics, literature, philosophy, sociology, political science), from a global or regional perspective, in connection with the study of the Middle East and/or the Maghreb, the Muslim worlds in the broad sense or Islam in the world.

For this year's event, proposals will be submitted in two stages. Convenors for thematic workshops validated by the GIS MOMM Scientific Council are now invited to submit the composition of their workshop on the website.

Submission is possible until 15 January, and the panels will be presented to the Scientific Council on 28 January 2025.

If this has not already been done, it is up to the workshop convenors to inform the candidates of their choice. The organising committee may, at their request, notify unsuccessful candidates.
Workshop convenors should prepare a Word document presenting their workshop, using the template provided online. For double workshops, they should prepare two documents with two distinct titles, specifying which is the first and second part.

They are invited to log in to the SciencesConf site, then go to the ‘My repositories’ menu. They will then be able to :

1. modify the abstract of their workshop according to the participants known (the text of the workshop abstract on the site and that on the Word file must be identical) ;
2. add authors, with their affiliation;
3. upload the Word file(s) in the appropriate place.

And not forget to save the changes.

The 6th Congress of Middle Eastern Studies in Strasbourg wishes to present to its participants the editorial news in the domain over the past two years. A one-hour slot may be devoted to the presentation of a work by its author, possibly assisted by a discussant.
Please complete the application form before 15 February.
