Union Européenne des Arabisants et Islamisants (UEAI 30)
Utrecht, 13-16 July 2020
First circular:
Congress Invitation and Call for Papers October 1st, 2019
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the UEAI, we are pleased to announce that the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Studies at the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Utrecht University, the Netherlands,
is hosting the 30th congress of the Union Européenne des Arabisants et Islamisants (UEAI), from 13-16 July 2020,
under the overarching theme of
“Body, identity and society in Islam”.
We are delighted to invite you to Utrecht, which is home to the Netherlands’ biggest university.
The tradition of Islamic and Arabic Studies at Utrecht University stretches back to the 17th century,
and has produced the likes of
Adriaan Reland (d. 1718), whose manifesto De religione mohammedica helped to launch the European academic study of Islam,
Martinus Houtsma (1851-1943), editor of the first edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam, and
Theodoor Willem Juynboll (1866-1948), author of a well-known handbook on the Shāfiʿī school of law.
Today, Islamic and Arabic Studies at Utrecht University are embedded in the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies of the Faculty of the Humanities, whose premises cluster around the Utrecht dome tower in the city centre.
According to al-Idrīsī (d. 1165), the city of Utrecht (Ustrīṭ) has many vineyards, meadows, horses, and a lot of water. Its inhabitants, al-Idrīsī relates, are noble, brave, and proud. Much of this, we are pleased to say, holds true to this day.
Utrecht is a lovely city, replete with museums, churches, and cafés and restaurants along the several city canals.
On a Friday, you’ll hear the adhān being called from the central mosque.
The city’s train station is the major traffic hub of the Netherlands and can be reached easily from Schiphol Airport, but also from Paris, London and Frankfurt.
If you’re planning to arrive by bike, Utrecht is home to the world’s largest biking garage.
The congress will take place in the Faculty of the Humanities in the city centre.
Online registration will start from today, October 1st, and continue until 1 April.
Onsite registration will start on Monday, 13 July, one hour before the opening session in the afternoon/early evening, and will continue until Thursday, 16 July, in the morning.
The panels of the congress will begin on Tuesday, 14 July, at 9am, and close on Thursday, 16 July around 1pm, to be followed by the General Assembly in the afternoon and, in the evening, the conference dinner.
On Friday, 17 July, the UEAI excursion will take place, a boat tour through Utrecht, with walking stops to visit a couple of the city sights.
