The VI th Congress of Phoenician Punic Studies aims at bringing together scholars interested in Punic and Phoenician phenomena. We want that the congress be characterized by a lively exchange in many small groups, rather than by formal plenary sessions.

The conference welcomes papers and sessions on any topic.

Nevertheless, we think organized classic session, but other types of presentations, like posters and round table sessions, areencouraged.
