The Centro Ricerche Archeologiche e Scavi di Torino and the Netherlands Institute for the Near East share important goals of research and publication in the field of Ancient Near Eastern Studies. Over the next five years the two institutes will endeavour to further these by cooperation on several levels.
One is the joint organisation of yearly workshops, alternately in Leiden and Torino, where the institutes’ researchers and invited guests can exchange results and ideas. The first workshop – presentations of the main research currently conducted by both institutes – takes place in Leiden.
