CEO, Qatar Museums – Conference Chair

On behalf of Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, it is with great pride that we welcome you to the 27th Conference on Archaeology and Cultural Heritage in the Arab World, hosted by Qatar Museums in collaboration with ALECSO and esteemed partners. 

Under the theme “Sustaining Cultural Heritage: Challenges and Future Strategies”, this gathering reflects our shared commitment to safeguarding the rich cultural legacy of the Arab world.

As we celebrate 20 years of Qatar Museums, marked by Evolution Nation, our 18-month anniversary campaign honoring the nation’s dynamic cultural journey, we also reaffirm our dedication to shaping Qatar’s vibrant cultural landscape in line with Qatar National Vision 2030. 

This conference provides a vital platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and the development of innovative approaches that address the urgent environmental, social, and technological challenges facing our cultural landscape.

We are especially proud to amplify the voices of young researchers through the launch of the Doha Youth Declaration 2025, affirming the role of youth in shaping a future rooted in cultural authenticity and collective responsibility. 

Welcome to Qatar, and welcome to the conference. Together, let us build lasting strategies that honor our past and inspire our future.
