In Cairo, ARCE hosts weekly lectures on topics of historical and contemporary concern, as well as educational excursions to sites within Egypt. ARCE conducts short courses on subjects of interest to the wider public, such as Egyptology and Islamic art, and holds a series of seminars conducted in Arabic to facilitate exchange between Egyptian and foreign scholars. It convenes an annual conference in the United States at which scholars are invited to present their research findings.
