Ernest Louis Georges Will (25 April 1913 – 24 September 1997) was a 20th-century French archaeologist and University professor, a member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres.[1]
On his return to France in 1951, he was an assistant in Greek language at the University of Lille (1951–1953). He defended a thèse d'État ès lettres in 1953, entitled Le relief cultuel gréco-romain : contribution à l'histoire de l'art de l'Empire romain,[6] and was recruited as a university professor in Lille (1953–1963). He was Director of Historic Antiquities of North-Picardie (1953–1968). He joined the Faculté des lettres de Paris as Greek language and literature professor (1963–1970) and then became a professor of art history and archeology at the Institut d'Art et d'Archéologie of the Pantheon-Sorbonne University (1970-1973).
He returned to Beirut as Director of the Institut français d’archéologie du Proche-Orient (IFAPO) (1973-1980), and in this context, engaged into considerable activity during the Lebanese Civil War, to protect the interests of the Institute and "give it a new impetus," including by opening branches in Amman (Jordan) and Damascus (Syria)[7] Since 2003, the IFAPO is a component of the current Institut français du Proche-Orient (IFPO).
After his mission was accomplished, he resumed his position at the Institut d'Art et d'Archéologie then took his academic retirement in 1982.[8]
For 19 years he directed the academic journalSyria dedicated to archaeology published by the Institut Français du Proche-Orient (1978–1997).
