The annual Mohr Lecture will showcase and focus on early career contributions to Egyptology. It is co-organised with RMO and funded by a private fund. The series is named after Herta Mohr, a native Austrian, who moved with her parents to the Netherlands to study Egyptology at Leiden University from 1937 onwards. Since mid-2024 NINO is housed in the Herta Mohr building.
The first Herta Mohr Lecture was held on 11 April 2025.
Two afternoon lectures are held each year at RMO (in spring and autumn), co-organised with Ex Oriente Lux. The intended audience consists of colleagues and students, EOL members, and Museum friends.
When affiliated researchers and colleagues in the Netherlands bring out a new volume – whether published with NINO/Peeters or elsewhere – NINO is glad to assist in organising a book launch in Leiden: an opportunity to present the new publication to colleagues, students, friends and family, and a celebration of the author’s achievement.
