institute of ismaili studies
London
The Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS) was established in 1977 as an academic
institution of higher education dedicated to the study of Islam, with a
particular focus on its Ismaili and broader Shi‘i traditions. A core part of our
mission is to preserve and study the intellectual and literary heritage of these
traditions. We harness the extensive expertise of our own scholars as well as
those of partner institutions to foster collaborative research and to identify
and address pressing ethical and intellectual questions faced by Muslim
communities around the world.
