With the support of Fondazione CRT, the Museo Egizio strengthens its scientific mission through ME Scripta, an international and multidisciplinary research centre dedicated to the study, conservation, and digitalisation of written sources from ancient Egypt.
ME‑Scripta pursues a clear goal: to study, analyse, and make accessible ancient Egyptian written sources through a structured research programme open to academic and institutional partnerships. Philology, papyrology, advanced conservation, multispectral imaging, and digital humanities converge in a single hub integrating research, preservation, and technological innovation.
By 2034, ME‑Scripta will launch an integrated digital platform extending the current TPOP database to papyri, ostraca, parchment, and bindings. Featuring IIIF images, searchable transcriptions, and links to major international databases, it will become the first online resource systematically dedicated to 3,000 years of Egyptian writing.
ME‑Scripta will have a tangible impact on Turin and the Piedmont region, creating opportunities for researchers, conservators, and digital specialists. Training programmes, international summer schools, workshops, and academic initiatives will further strengthen the Museo Egizio’s role as a centre for research, education, and innovation, open to both the scholarly community and the public.
