Filming and photography

The EAA provides filming facilities for the Opening Ceremony, the AMBM, the keynote lectures and selected sessions to be broadcast/live-streamed. It is forbidden for AM delegates to film sessions, individual presentations, the AMBM or any other official occasion without the express permission of the EAA.

A professional photographer may be appointed by the EAA to make systematic photographic documentation of AM events. Photography is generally allowed to delegates at the AMBM and other official events and occasions, as well as in sessions (at the discretion of session organisers). An individual author/presenter can forbid photography by saying so at the start of their presentation.

The EAA maintains the right to hold, publish and otherwise use the photographs and the filmed material.

Important Updates

22 April 2025

Adjusted Registration Fees

Following the recent move to an online-only format, the registration fees for the EAA 2025 Annual Meeting have been reduced accordingly. The new registration fees can be found under Registration Policy & Fees.

Conference Registration

Registration will reopen around 1 May - we will notify Members as soon as it is live. The new deadline for first authors of contributions to pay membership and registration fees will likely be 20 May (to be confirmed).

Refunds

Members who already registered will receive an email with refund instructions.

Academic Programme Extension

The academic programme will be extended to five days instead of the usual three. Sessions will therefore run from Tuesday, 2 September to Saturday, 6 September. These adjustments aim to reduce session and author overlaps, and thus improve the overall experience.

Transition to Online Format

1 April 2025

With great sorrow, the Organising Committee of EAA 2025 Belgrade Annual Meeting and the EAA Executive Board regretfully inform you that the Annual Meeting will take place virtually only, using a suitable online platform.

The reason for this hard decision is the uncertainty surrounding the development of the current political situation in Serbia. The authorities' recent response to peaceful student and citizen protests compromised the autonomy of universities and increased the pressure upon both teachers and students. While we support the ongoing democratic movement in Serbia, we cannot predict the impact and the outcome of the current events and therefore cannot confidently plan the Annual Meeting logistics, or adequate measures for your safety.

This decision in no way diminishes the EAA’s support and appreciation for Serbian archaeology and our Serbian colleagues. The Belgrade Organising Committee and EAA Executive Board remain devoted to our joint aim of holding a successful and productive Belgrade Annual Meeting. We share your disappointment and are working hard to put alternative arrangements in place as soon as possible, and to communicate these to you.

The Belgrade Organising Committee and EAA staff are currently addressing the practical ramifications of this change and will communicate updates to presenters, delegates, and EAA Members as soon as possible. We sincerely appreciate your patience as we carefully think through the issues and opportunities that arise from this change.
