For the third week in a row, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat resumes its summer training program for the undergraduates and postgraduates of the Faculty of Archeology in its various departments, mainly; Egyptian Antiquities, Islamic Antiquities and the Conservation Department. As announced earlier by Dr. Ahmed Ghoneim, the Managing Executive Director of the NMEC, the training program serves the NMEC’s initial role of pursuing a greater role within the society other than housing antiquities, it is rather a comprehensive scientific and an educational institution. Ghoneim has emphasized that organizing internships and training programs is an asset, as such programs develop the skills, qualities, and abilities required that will help the candidates grow both personally and professionally.
Fayrouz Fekry, the Deputy Director for Management and Operation at the NEMC, demonstrated that the training program covers a number of major themes in the field of archeology, including, but not limited to; DNA research, radiocarbon dating, the study of human remains and the methods of identifying them, documentation and digital registration, the methods of preserving, treating and maintaining manuscripts, papyruses, leathers and baskets, as well as the best methods of storing and displaying them.
It is worth-noting that the training program will resume until the first week of October.
