Advisory Board

The advisory board for Islamic-Religious Studies is part of the FAU and has supported DIRS since our founding in 2012. Based on religious aspects, the board has contributed to the establishment of study programs and the hiring of chairs at DIRS.

The board consists of representatives of Muslim associations that are relevant in Bavaria, prominent Muslim characters, and scholars of Islamic theology and related disciplines.

The members of the board, who are appointed by the FAU for periods of three years, have contributed to the establishment of DIRS in the academic landscape with expertise and academic qualification.
