Egyptological research takes place in institutions where researchers can exchange ideas and access specialist literature. Since Egyptology has its roots in the 19th century, especially in Europe and North America, most of the research sites are located there or in Egypt itself. There are now institutes on every continent. This allows researchers to meet colleagues, exchange ideas, or start new research projects. The following is a list of all major and minor institutions engaged in Egyptological research. If you like to study Egyptology before starting your research: check out where to study Egyptology.
The entries are arranged alphabetically according to countries and towns respectively.
