Durham Centre for Islamic Economics and Finance (DCIEF) with its international reputation in theoretical and empirical research has continued to share its experience by hosting an annual Islamic Finance Summer School (DIFSS) in Durham, which has proven to be very successful in the last five years, with 66 participants from all over the world in the 2011 Summer School.

Due to the high demand, a slightly shorter version of the DIFSS is organised in Istanbul from 19th September -22nd September 2011, one of the largest commercial and financial centres in the Middle East.

This programme is jointly organised by DCIEF, Durham University, and ISAR – Istanbul Foundation for Research and Education, and it is supported by Istanbul Commerce University of the Istanbul Chambers of Commerce.

We are confident that this post-summer event will be equally valuable for the participants, whether they are pursuing a career in Islamic banking and finance industry, or in financial service providers are debating whether to offer Shari’ah compliant products, or pursuing academic research in Islamic finance related fields.

To make the programme more appealing to individuals from professional financial and banking sector, the session presenters are invited from the Islamic finance and banking industry.
