The focus of the workshop is on research methodology (including the organisation of research, working in Egypt and Sudan and related topics) to better prepare students to carry out thesis research and writing, as well as accustoming them to presenting at academic conferences. The GARDEN is jointly organised by the German Archaeological Institute (DAIK) and the American University in Cairo (AUC).
