The conferences are also designed to orient researchers on the results of archeological excavations carried out by the General Antiquities Department and the International archeological missions as well as to exchange scientific and academic expertise between researchers and experts in Jordan’s history and antiquities.
Researchers and historical scholars from Jordan, Arab and foreign countries are taking part in these conferences held every three years. The conferences were held under the following titles:
