The workshop concept was “How to develop the collaboration between the GIS Center and the inspectorates”. The program consisted of two sessions of speakers followed by three round tables. The 1st session started with the achievements of the GIS Center and was followed by a description of the workflow of the GIS Center units. The application of GIS in archaeology was demonstrated by a presentation with a documentary film about the site visits in the Red Sea Governorate.

The 2nd session demonstrated how cooperation between the GIS Center and the inspectorates works, including how data is collected in cooperation with the inspectors. In addition, some photos of archaeological sites that have historical importance were shown.

Then the role of the GIS Center in registering Alexandria’s Old City through the use of GPS was introduced by the director of the Underwater and Maritime Archaeology Department of the SCA in Alexandria.

The wrap-up round tables were the core of this workshop and the aim to set up a technical and administrative methodology to provide the inspectorates and the SCA sectors with the GIS Center data.
