The World Congress on Mummy Studies is a first level academic event held every 3 years and brings together scientists from the five continents, who address the study of mummies from different approaches. These include the application of state-of-the-art methods and techniques; conservation and museum management; and ethical aspects related to research and exhibition of mummified remains, among others.
The first congress was held at the initiative of Drs. Conrado Rodríguez Martín and Arthur Aufderheide (1922-2013) in Tenerife, Spain. This first meeting was followed by meetings in Cartagena, Colombia (1995); Arica, Chile (1998); Nuuk, Greenland (2001); Turin, Italy (2004); Lanzarote, Spain (2007); San Diego, USA (2011); Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2013); Lima, Peru (2016); and Bolzano, Italy (2022). In addition, an extraordinary meeting was held in Tenerife in 2018 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Congress.
