On 16 April 2018, Erlangen Centre for Islam and Law in Europe [EZIRE] and UMT School of Law and Policy [SLP] signed an MOU regarding academic collaboration. EZIRE was represented by its founder, Prof. Dr. Mathias Rohe; SLP was represented by its founding director, Prof. Syed Imad-ud-Din Asad.

Recognizing their common advantage in setting up and developing academic collaboration, EZIRE and SLP have agreed as follows:

1. EZIRE will offer summer programs, in Erlangen, for SLP’s students;
2. SLP will host, in Lahore, EZIRE’s professors for teaching short-courses;
3. The parties will conduct joint conferences, seminars, courses, and lectures; and
4. The parties will conduct joint research.

EZIRE conducts multidisciplinary research on Muslim life within European constitutional states. It examines how European laws react to Muslim life, and how Muslim self-conception and religious self-organization develop in this context.

Established on 01 January 2009, with the funding of the Fund for Innovation of the Bavarian Ministry for Sciences, EZIRE is one of the main institutions within the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg. It strengthens the university’s diverse and traditional research on Islam and the Middle East.
