Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies

The Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OXCIS) is an independent centre and University of Oxford affiliate established in 1985 for advanced research into Islam and Muslim societies. The Prince of Wales serves as its patron. In 2012, it received a royal charter from Queen Elizabeth II. The Centre’s governance is overseen by a board of trustees comprising scholars, statespeople from around the world, and representatives of the University of Oxford.

Dedicated to studying Islamic culture, civilization, and contemporary Muslim societies through a multi-disciplinary lens, the Centre’s fellows contribute to various departments, faculties, and colleges within the university. Students and senior academics have visited Oxford over the years through the Centre's Scholarships and Visiting Fellowships programmes. The Centre organizes lectures, seminars, workshops, conferences, exhibitions, and other academic events throughout the academic year. Provided by Wikipedia
