The École française de Rome supports research and training in archaeology, history and other fields of the humanities and social sciences covering all periods from prehistory to the present day. Its geographical areas of focus include Rome and the rest of Italy, the Maghreb and the countries of southeastern Europe that border the Adriatic.
The École promotes international research exchanges through its participation in multinational archaeological excavations and through its sponsorship of academic conferences. It also publishes each year about twenty monograph volumes in its areas of specialisation as well as a biannual academic journal, Mélanges de l’École française de Rome.
