The 9th International Forum on Muslim Societies in Central Eurasia: Intellectual Legacy, Contemporary Realities, and Future Directions has come to a close.
Organized by the Alliance of Civilizations Institute (MEDIT) at Ibn Haldun University, the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) and the Institute of Knowledge Integration (IKI), the forum took place on 24–26 October 2026 at the Süleymaniye Salis Madrasa.
Over three days, scholars and researchers from Central Asia, the Caucasus, Europe and beyond took part in a keynote address, nine panels, a discussion panel and a special session. Topics ranged from Islamic education and knowledge integration to spirituality and psychology, Jadidism, Muslim communities in Central-Eastern Europe, and economic well-being in Central Asia.
The program also included a walking tour of the Süleymaniye Complex and a visit to the Süleymaniye Library of Manuscripts.
We thank all our speakers, participants and partners for three days of rich discussion.
