Language of conference: English

Organizers: The Institute of Archaeology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Nitra, Slovakia; National Council for Culture, Arts & Letters (NCCAL), State of Kuwait.

The long history of the archaeological survey of the Failaka Island and of the Kuwaiti coast has brought to this date many outstanding scientific results. However, many problems remain to be solved. We decided to organize an international conference (round table), where scientific teams working on the Failaka Island and on the Kuwaiti coast will share new ideas and embark on a closer cooperation. We hope that the presentations of the newest research results will stimulate an active scientific discussion.
