1st Forum of Young Researchers in Islamic Contexts
The 1st Forum of Young Researchers in Islamic contexts will take place on 17th and 18th January 2013 in Lisbon, FCSH-UNL.
This is a meeting / interdisciplinary forum where young researchers are challenged to share their work and their reflections.
“This meeting/forum intends to attenuate academic boundaries and to place young researchers in a cross-disciplinary dialogue where the sole ‘leit motif’ will be their research in Arab and Islamic contexts.” http://necicria.wordpress.com/
