In 2002, the Aga Khan University (AKU) established its Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations (AKU-ISMC) in the United Kingdom. The goal of the Institute is to strengthen research and teaching on the heritage of Muslim societies as they have evolved over time, and on the challenges these societies face in today’s globalised world. The Institute studies systems of moral and ethical thought, structures of governance and public life, and artistic and creative expressions in all forms. It also seeks to create opportunities for interaction among academics, traditionally trained scholars and other professionals in an effort to deepen the understanding by Muslims and non-Muslims alike of issues affecting Muslim societies today.
