Durham Islamic Finance Summer School 4th-8th July 2011

Available at: http://www.dur.ac.uk/difp

DIFP, with its international reputation in theoretical and empirical research, aims to share its experiences by hosting an annual Summer School. The first Islamic Finance Summer School held in 2006 proved to be very successful with over 40 participants. We are, therefore, confident that this annual event will be equally valuable for future participants, whether they are pursuing academic research or working in the Islamic banking and finance industry, or in financial service providers that are debating whether to offer Shariah compliant products.

The Islamic Finance Summer School runs during July each summer.
