The British Association for Islamic Studies (BRAIS)

BRAIS is a learned society and professional organisation focused on enhancing research and teaching about Islam and Muslim cultures and societies in UK higher education.

The association provides a forum for academic exchange for scholars with an interest in any aspect of Islam and the Muslim world (including non-Muslim majority societies), and acts as an umbrella organisation for members working in a wide range of disciplines and geographical interest areas.

BRAIS works with research councils and other bodies to represent the interests of Islamic Studies on research matters in UK higher education, and with the Higher Education Academy to enhance teaching and learning in Islamic Studies. It also maintains and encourages relationships with providers of HE-level Islamic Studies outside of publicly-funded UK higher education.

BRAIS has been organising Islamic studies conferences for almost 10 years, welcoming scholars, academics, researchers and students from around the globe to present their research and literature to international audiences. These conferences provide a chance for academics to network and meet like-minded individuals. The conferences are a successful meetings of minds and intellect.
