      • The Center for Near And Middle Eastern Studies (CNMS) is a research center focused on the MENA Region at the University of Marburg in Marburg, Germany.


      Background


      Philipps University of Marburg has conducted research on the Middle East since the late 19th century. Notable researchers include Annemarie Schimmel who later went on to become a Professor at Harvard University and Stefan Wild.
      The Center for Near and Middle Eastern Studies was established in 2007 to consolidate and advance research on the Near and Middle East, both past and present.
      Housed in a renovated historic building, the CNMS has seven professorial chairs. Its staff conducts research across contemporary social and economic issues, as well as philology, history, Islamic cultural studies and linguistic studies.


      META-Journal


      The CNMS publishes Middle East - Topics & Arguments (META), a biannual peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, open access journal. It has been supported by the German Research Foundation's "Wissenschaftliche Zeitschriften" program since July 2012.


      EGYLandscape


      The EGYLandscape project, funded by French Agence Nationale de la Recherche and German Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft from 2019 to 2023, studied land Mamluk and Ottoman Egypt. It brought together global experts in history, environment, and archaeology.
      The main result is a webGIS tool that lets users explore Egypt’s rural areas over seven centuries, combining historical texts and maps to show how places and administrative regions changed over time.
