About DAVO
The German Middle East Studies Association for Contemporary Research and Documentation (DAVO) was established in 1993.
Since then about 850 scholars and other people interested in the Middle East have become members of DAVO.
They are not only from Germany, but also from other European countries, North America and the Middle East.
Aims
of DAVO
DAVO is a scholarly, nonpolitical
and nonprofit-making professional association open to all persons
interested in the Middle East. The main aim of DAVO is to improve
the exchange of information on Middle East studies between its
members and various national and international institutions.
This aim is
pursued by
-
Publishing the DAVO-Nachrichten, a journal of German and
international Middle East studies, including a roster of
members, recent and future meetings, publications, research
projects, internet news, reviews and presentations of
institutions engaged in Middle East studies (two issues per
year, each up to 150 pages, more than half of the text is in
English and French),
-
operating this DAVO-Website, containing conference
announcements, information on research centres and other
institutions, recent articles in journals, announcements of
grants and other information relevant to Middle East studies,
-
issueing the DAVO-Info-Service, which forwards
announcements of congresses, job vacancies, grants and other
urgent news dealing with Middle East Studies immediately to the
members of DAVO by e-mail.
-
operating a DAVO-Diskussionsforum, a discussion network
for members of DAVO via e-mail. Its primary goal is to foster
communication among the members of DAVO in order to advance the
study on the Middle East by improving the exchange of all kinds
of information on contemporary research in that region.
-
organizing annual conferences on Middle East studies. The 14th
International Congress of DAVO will be held in Freiburg/Breisgau
on 24 - 28 September 2007.
Middle East studies include
disciplines relevant to the study of an area comprising all Arab
states and territories, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, the
Muslim states of the former USSR and Israel, as well as the impact
of this region on the development of other parts of the world.
