Research cooperations
Within the framework of the yearly excavation campaigns, the University of Basel’s core team works together with numerous experts in various related fields (Egyptology, archaeology, geodesy, medicine / palaeoanatomy, anthropology, wood and textile conservation and ceramics). The University of Basel Kings’ Valley Project also serves as a training programme for students of Egyptology at the University of Basel.
The University of Basel Kings’ Valley Project works in close cooperation with the following international institutions:
Supporters
Without the support of our colleagues from the Egyptian Ministry of State for Antiquities Affairs, the success of the University of Basel in Luxor would not have been possible. We would like to thank our colleagues for their many years of trusting cooperation.
Funding of the University of Basel Kings’ Valley Project has been provided by the Gertrud Mayer Foundation and by private sponsors since 2009. Without their continuous support, the progress achieved and the successes attained would not have been possible.
Beginning in the spring of 2015 and for the duration of 3 years, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) will finance a complete processing and evaluation of the finds in KV 40.
As of 2015 our project also enjoys the support of the Alumni of the University of Basel.
