1. UIMP EuQu Summer School 21 – 25 June 2021
Registration period for the EuQu Summer School is now open.
The objective of this seminar is to analyse the role that the Qur’an had in interactions in modern and medieval Europe with Islam, in debates between Christians of various persuasions and doctrines or in criticism of Christianity during the Enlightenment, among other areas of investigation. To what extent is the Qur’an imbedded in the political and religious thought of Europe and part of the intellectual repertoire of Medieval and Early Modern Europeans of different Christian denominations, of European Jews, freethinkers, atheists and of course European Muslims? During the sessions we will study how the Qur’an was interpreted, adapted, used, and formed in Christian European contexts since the Middle Ages, in order to understand how the Holy Book has influenced both culture and religion in Europe.

3. SYMPOSIUM – Cultural Encounters in Anatolia in the Medieval Period: The Crusaders in Anatolia (Koç University VEKAM) – May 27-28
Cultural Encounters in Anatolia in the Medieval Period: The Crusaders in Anatolia Symposium. The symposium will be held online on May 27-28, 2021 due to pandemic.
Starting from Spring 2014, Koç University VEKAM has been organizing international symposiums to introduce various cultures that lived in Anatolia and to support research in these fields of study under the title of “Cultural Encounters in Anatolia in the Medieval Period”.
After the symposiums on the Georgian Kingdom, Ilkhanids, and Italians in Anatolia, within the scope of the series, this year’s theme is specified as “The Crusaders in Anatolia”. We believe that Cultural Encounters in Anatolia in the Medieval Period: The Crusaders in Anatolia symposium will be inspiring for researchers in this field.
