As in previous editions, the aim of this conference is to create a specialised Spanish-Portuguese forum for presenting studies and research related to travellers, collectors and pioneers who, between the 16th and 20th centuries, contributed to the development of knowledge about the ancient Near East and Egypt.

Thematic Sections:
- Travellers and hospitality (16th-20th centuries);
- Antique collecting (18th-20th centuries);
- Pioneers (19th-20th centuries).
