One of the primary tasks of the Centre of Egyptology is the foundation and development of a research team in egyptology with a mission in Republic of Egypt. Another important task of the Centre is to support the research work of its members and their participation in local and international scholar activities.The Centre of Egyptology in Bulgaria undertook also the task to publish a yearbook – The Journal of Egyptological Studies, which will inform the Egyptological circles of the Bulgarian egyptology.With its support for the development of the egyptological interrelationship and exchange of academic information, the Centre of Egyptology contribute to the extending of the general knowledge of the Bulgarian public about the history and culture of the ancient Egyptian civilisation.
