Membership of BANEA is open to anyone who is interested in the archaeology, languages, and history of the Ancient Near East.

We are happy to inform you that BANEA and London Centre for the Ancient Near East (LCANE) now offer joint annual membership, with fees split evenly between the two institutions to be used for organising events (such as the upcoming annual BANEA conference or the LCANE spring seminars), student grants for conference attendance, or small-scale research projects.

Membership entitles you to apply for BANEA / LCANE grants and is also required for attending the annual BANEA conference. It costs £15.00 for full membership and £7.50 for student/unwaged membership.

Membership benefits

Hear the News First!

BANEA members will receive news and announcements about BANEA & LCANE through our mailing list, before these are announced elsewhere.

We only use this mailing list to contact you about membership, and information about events organised directly by BANEA or LCANE. We will not spam you with circulars about other events but we do spread the word about general ANE news, talks, lectures, activities, jobs, and much more on our BANEA Facebook page.

Attend the Annual Conference

You will need membership if you would like to attend the annual BANEA conference.

Members can propose session/workshop themes, submit paper/poster abstracts, or simply register as audience to hear talks and participate in discussions.

Apply for BANEA Grants

With BANEA membership, you will be eligible to apply for grants which are normally given out to support student attendance to conferences (e.g. to cover the costs of travel or accommodation) as well as occasional grants for organising research or public-engagement events.

Have Your Say

BANEA members can attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held during the conference.

Members can vote on elections to the Steering Committee and are themselves eligible to be nominated for a place.

As part of BANEA's ongoing efforts towards decolonising, we are keen more than ever to hear from our members and will be inviting input and open more decisions to the vote especially on this front.

BE PART OF a community

BANEA events are an excellent way to get to know people and be part of an industrious and friendly community.
