Programme Structure
- In order to complete their own project on the culture and civilisation of Islam and current Muslim countries in a global perspective, fellows will conduct independent research for six months.
- The opportunity to network with experts from various fields who specialise in the Islamic world will be beneficial to fellows. They will also have the chance to discuss topics related to the Islamic world, such as Islamic history, classical Islamic sciences, economics, Islamic finance, public health, science and technology in the Muslim world, and the study of Muslims in the West. Fellows will support the Center’s goal of fostering enduring conversation and collaboration among scholars studying Islamic culture, civilisation, and modern Muslim countries around the world.
- OCIS is a centre for advanced study of Islam and the Muslim world that serves as a bridge between Western and Islamic academic cultures.
- Starting in October 2024, this fellowship programme will be launched. Prior to travelling to the UK, fellows must create their own research project that will be their primary focus during their fellowship.
