The European Conference on African Studies (ECAS) is the proud flagship event of AEGIS, the European African Studies Association.  With the exception of a break at the height of the COVID pandemic in 2021, ECAS has been running consistently every two years for the past twenty years, each time hosted by one of the member institutions of AEGIS.  We are delighted that in 2025, ECAS is being hosted in the magnificent city of Prague by the dynamic Czech Association for African Studies (CAAS).
