The International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East (ICAANE) is a biennial conference cycle initiated by archaeologists from several European universities. The first ICAANE took place in Rome in 1998. Since then the congress has been held every other spring at a different European university. The host of each ICAANE is chosen two years in advance by the ICAANE Scientific Committee. In 2018, in Munich, the decision of arranging the next congress was taken and the University of Bologna was chosen as the host of the 12 ICAANE. This event was subsequently delayed to 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
