Kairouan Manuscript Project
New MOU signed between the CSMC and the National Heritage Institute
31 March 2020, by Webmaster
Prof. Dr. Faouzi Mahfoudh and Prof. Dr. Michael Friedrich signed a new Memorandum of Understanding that will support emergency preparedness and response training for the conservation laboratory in Kairouan as well as essential building repairs to limit water damage to the building. The MOU was signed shortly after a brief trip to Tunisia by Jonathan Brockopp, director of the KMP, that was cut short due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. However, Brockopp and Mahfoudh were able to hold a lengthy meeting to discuss progress of the KMP thus far and to identify future priorities.
