The GIS MOMM Congress:

- brought together researchers from various horizons in order to overcome the inevitable fragmentation of research teams
- aimed to reduce the subdivisions inherited from the colonial and post-colonial periods and between ‘Muslim West’ and ‘Muslim East’
- allowed the sharing of research fields by specialists in different social and human sciences
- was intended to respond to challenges raised by current upheavals in the Maghreb and the Middle East, developed the history of Islam, and studied civil society mobilizations
Sessions
Half-day and fully-day sessions presented research in progress, thus encouraging debates among researchers.
At this Congress, we sought to mobilize the French and Francophone academic community through exchanges between specialists in different historical periods (medieval and contemporary history), disciplines (e.g. historians and political scientists) and geographical areas and countries (Turkey, Iran, Arab world, Indonesia, etc.).
