What is DAVO?
The German Middle East Studies Association for Contemporary Research
and Documentation (DAVO) is a scholarly, nonpolitical and
nonprofit-making professional association open to all persons
interested in the Middle East. The main aim of DAVO is to improve the
exchange of information on Middle East studies between its members.
Middle East studies include disciplines relevant to the study of an
area comprising all Arab states and territories, Afghanistan, Iran,
Pakistan, Turkey, the Muslim states of the former USSR and Israel, as
well as the impact of this region on the development of other parts of
the world.
How can you benefit from joining DAVO?
- As member of DAVO you get access to an interdisciplinary network
of more than 1300 members. They are mainly scholars,
postgraduates and doctoral students as well as many representatives of
the media, diplomatic services, cultural institutions and other people
interested in the Middle East in its widest sense. They are not only
from German speaking countries, but also from other parts of Europe,
North America, the Middle East and North Africa, Turkey and Central
Asia.
- You receive the DAVO-Info-Service almost
on a weekly basis. This email list informs the members of DAVO about
announcements of conferences, job vacancies, grants, new research
projects and other news dealing with Middle East Studies. Due to the
combination with the EURAMES Info Service more than 5000 scholars based
in 92 different countries contribute to the information provided by the
DAVO-Info-Service. Hundreds of young scholars, senior academics
and other members of DAVO owe decisive steps in their career to this
