Levantine Heritage is open to new ideas of research, presentation of findings and possible publications in the future. We would welcome new contacts and leads to widen our appeal and research remit. We also bring researchers together, either in meetings, or in the virtual world of e-mails and social media, helping cross-pollination of ideas and inspiration for future studies and collaborations.

We will publicise a newsletter once every 6 months to highlight past and ongoing research and the findings, and allow for discussion to take place on the viability and efficiency of future projects. We thank all who have contributed in their own way in the past, allowing us to develop thus far.
