The BFSA is pleased to be supporting the Red Sea VII conference: “The Red Sea and the Gulf: Two Maritime
Alternative Routes in the Development of Global Economy,from Late Prehistory to Modern Times”, 26 – 30 May 2015.

The University of Naples “L’Orientale” will host the Red Sea VII conference, which for the first time will provide a comparison, on a scientific level, between two sea corridors and their shores, the Red Sea and the Gulf, which are similar geographically and environmentally, complementary to each other as well as competitors in their economic and cultural interaction with the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, both in the past and in the present. The conference will be an opportunity to meet and exchange information among scholars from worldwide institutions interested in the western Indian Ocean, and also an opportunity to share new ideas and to promote innovative projects based on international collaborations.
