The rescheduled international conference “Phoenician Identity in the Making,” a research workshop of the Israel Science Foundation, will take place next month, from 2–4 February 2026, at the Israel Institute for Advanced Studies (IIAS), Givat Ram Campus.

The conference is a joint project of two IIAS research groups: “Phoenician Identity in the Making: A Longue Durée Perspective,” organized by Professors Alexander Fantalkin and Naama Yahalom-Mack, and “Can We Hear Anymore the Voice of Singing Men and Women? Recovering Phoenician Oral Poetry,” organized by Professors Noam Mizrahi and Andrea Rotstein.
