The ARAM Society has laid the foundation for the study of continuity between the Aramaic civilisation and other different Syro-Mesopotamian civilisations. ARAM Conferences, however, show how closely intertwined they are, and that the Aramaic civilisation would not have flourished without an intellectual cross-fertilisation. ARAM work clearly shows that the different civilisations of the Syro-Mesopotamian area have been strongly connected to each other throughout the ages. Therefore, ARAM will continue to explore the many connections between these different civilisations in order to demonstrate that the Syro-Mesopotamian man is born out of a process of cultural continuity uninterrupted since the beginning of history. Cultural interchange is a concept of great interest to ARAM. The academic work of ARAM is a multidisciplinary one for it combines many different scholarly fields such as archaeology, history, arts, religions, philosophy, literatures and linguistics. All papers, which are sent for publication in our refereed journal, are subject to editorial review.
