EFSAS calls upon academics and Think-tanks and participates in an international event at the University of Amsterdam
06-06-2017 & 15-06-2017
EFSAS participated in an international event, “Islam as a political resource"? Lessons from the EU neighbourhood”, organized by Access Europe at the University of Amsterdam. The aim of this international conference was to query whether the Muftiate model is one that might also be appropriate to address the challenges of radicalization in the Member States of the European Union. The event brought together several key figures and institutions active in Russia, the Ukraine, Germany and the Netherlands, in order to discuss whether such a model simply reproduces a colonial approach to the governance of religion or whether it is able to furnish new structures and practices for engaging religious difference?
