ICAANE (International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East) is a 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 2014, in Basel, the decision of arranging the next congress was taken and the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna was chosen as the host of the 10 ICAANE.
