City & Micro Region in the Ancient Mediterranean (and Beyond)

After a successful start in Madrid in May, the international conference “City and Micro-region in the Ancient Mediterranean (and Beyond)” is entering its second phase. From 30 October to 1 November 2025, international researchers will meet again to discuss ancient cities and their micro-regions — this time in Istanbul at the German Archaeological Institute.

The second part of the jointly organised conference series looks at the representation, perception, and planning of city & micro-region configurations and goes beyond them by discussing key themes such as connectivity, integration, and the global perspective. This includes for instance, maritime interaction, regional entanglement, and the relevance of city&micro-region configurations beyond the ancient Mediterranean.

The first day of the City and Micro-region in the Ancient Mediterranean (and Beyond) conference will close with an evening lecture by Prof. D.Phil. John Ma (Columbia University) on the topic ‘On micro-regionalism’, followed by a reception at the German Consulate General.

The hybrid event will be held in English. For more information about the conference, the programme, and registration, please use the following link. For physical participation, register by 15:00 on the day before the event.
