The Trust is now inviting applications for research visits to London in 2026. All the information and a link to the application form can be found on the Trust’s website – see LINK in BIO Recently, we received - on a very autumnal looking day in London! - this year’s final two visitors in Kensington: Eva Cornelisse of Leiden University who is carrying our research for her PhD on ‘Piccinini, ‘Someone who knew the antiquities’- European presence and Egyptological activities in early 19th Century western Thebes’; and Islam Gadallah of Ain Shams University who is working towards ‘Publishing of an Anthropoid Wooden Coffin from the Late Period at the Egyptian Museum, Cairo’. Welcome to both of them! WOW, massive congratulations to Trust alumnus Anibal Vidal (Special Award, grants from the Hawkins Special Fund) on winning an Ivor Novello Award. Wow, we are very proud Anibal, well done! 👏 👏👏 Great news from the Trust’s outgoing Resident Musician (2022-25), Michal Oren. Congratulations Michal and very best wishes for the semi finals! 👏👏👏 In October 2025 we received two further visitors at the Trust’s Kensington House. After a long delay caused initially by the pandemic Paige Brevick was finally able to resume her work at UCL on ‘Ancient Egypt Reimagined: Exhibitionary Strategies in Redesigned Galleries’, and Shaimaa Saber of Cairo University carried out research for her project on ‘A Collection of Mummy Bandages in the World Museum of Liverpool’. On 19 October 2025 the second instalment of our informal concert series took place in Dr Anderson’s music room at Hornton Street. Soprano Maria Miguel Pires gave a magical performance, accompanied by Hailey Wong on the piano, as a rehearsal for the 30th Competition of the Kathleen Ferrier Society Bursary for Young Singers the following weekend. Since his first visit to London with the Trust’s support in 2023, Hesham Abdelkader has completed his PhD and on arrival for his second visit he presented the Trust with a copy of his thesis for the library. Thank you Hesham and mabrouk ya doctor! A short report on Hesham’s second stay with us, in September 2025, has now appeared on the Trust’s website: LINK in BIO Dr Mona Abady, an archaeologist working at Karnak in Egypt, stayed at the Trust’s house in Kensington for the month of October 2025 to further her research into ‘The material culture of the 29th Dynasty in Egypt’. Dr Mona’s report is now online here: LINK in BIO Vinca Michaelis of the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne stayed with us in Dr Anderson’s former home in Kensington during July 2025 to conduct research for her PhD thesis entitled ‘Egyptological Collections and European Politics – How Acquisition Policies of European Museums Were Influenced by Political Events Between 1882 and 1918′. Vinca’s thoughts have now been posted to the Trust’s website: LINK in BIO
