In order to avoid fragmentation into individual discussions, there will be no parallel sessions but one panel in which all participants are included across disciplines. Each half-day will be dedicated to specific regions within the large geographical framework from Egypt to Central Asia. The presentations will be concluded by a joint panel discussion.
Assuming there will be more applications for presentations than can be accepted, the organising committee, together with the ARWA management, will make a selection of the most promising contributions. Additionally, space will be provided for posters presentations as an alternative. These posters will be given more space than is usual at conferences, with a poster forum scheduled each day after the lecture sessions, where short presentations of the posters will take place and and presenters can be interviewed. The conference will conclude with the ARWA Business Meeting and the SGOA General Assembly.
