The Netherlands Interuniversity School for Islamic Studies (NISIS) is a national research school in the field of the study of Islam and Muslim societies.

Geschiedenis

The main aim of NISIS is to advance cooperation between the nine participating Dutch universities. By bringing together the academic expertise of Dutch scholars in the field of Islam and Muslim societies, NISIS offers both junior and senior researchers a forum for interdisciplinary research collaboration and national and international networking opportunities which simultaneously benefits the training of PhD candidates and research master students. Against this background, NISIS is committed to promoting interuniversity and international cooperation, for instance by organising annual Spring and Autumn Schools, each time at another (Dutch) university, on prominent themes pertaining to Islamic studies, which have attracted both national and international researchers.
