Khalidi, L. Purdue, G. Davtian, M. Gabriele, J. Cauliez, F. Bon, L. Coudert, L. Bruxelles, J. Lesur (MNHN) and C. Ménard have extensive experience in archaeological excavations, geoarchaeology and geomorphological surveys in Ethiopia and Djibouti. For the last 10 years, this group of internationally recognized researchers have worked together in the framework of fieldwork programs, the ANR Big Dry (dir. F. Bon) and the Tellus-Rift AGXIM project (dir. C. Doubre) and have forged cooperative links with local researchers, students, universities and institutions in the region:

Ethiopian Authority for Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage ARCCH, National Museum of Addis Ababa, Afar Bureau of Tourism and Culture ABTC, Universities of Semara, Addis Ababa and Hawassa,

Centre d’Etude et de Recherche de Djibouti CERD,

Centre Français des Etudes Ethiopiennes CFEE, and the IRAH.

An important part of the NILAFAR project will be implementing knowledge exchange between France, Ethiopia, Djibouti and training Ethiopian/Djiboutian/french students in new methods and concepts.
