NISIS

🎬 Join us for an inspiring evening with NISIS!

On Thursday, April 23, NISIS hosts its third film screening in collaboration with a group of French documentary makers. The evening begins with networking drinks, where NISIS Junior members can connect with Senior members from across the field.

As a unique research school uniting nine Dutch universities, NISIS fosters interdisciplinary exchange through workshops, seminars, conferences, and seasonal schools. With Utrecht University hosting NISIS until the end of 2026, we’re celebrating our vibrant portfolio of events by bringing our community—and the wider public—together.

Students and scholars of Islamic studies are warmly invited to meet, exchange ideas, and watch the documentary Harar, the Forgotten Islamic City. The film offers a rare glimpse into the lives of Harar’s inhabitants, capturing a historic Islamic city whose days may be numbered.

✨ Come for the conversation, stay for the film.
