FRIEDRICH NAUMANN FOUNDATION Address Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation, Karl Marx St. 2, 14482 Potsdam, Germany Phone +49 0331/7019-0 Fax +49 0331/7019-188 Web www.fnst.de E-Mail fnst@fnst.org Category Research / Dialogue MISSION STATEMENT The Friedrich Naumann Foundation is an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organisation that is committed to promoting liberal policy and politics. Originating in Germany, the Foundation has won a reputation for promoting Freedom in human Dignity as the ultimate precondition of a society where people can live freely and in peace. To create such an open society we are guided by the principles of Liberalism and its message of tolerance and acceptance of diversity. By applying its core concepts such as human rights, rule of law, liberal democracy and a free market economy, it has been proven through the centuries that Liberalism offers appropriate solutions for the present and the future in public and personal life.It is this proud tradition that we seek to expand even further through our intensive Work in political education, advice, training and dialogue. In Africa we support various projects in co-operation with partner organisations and are similarly active in over 50 countries worldwide. Founding year 1958. BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITIES The Friedrich Naumann Foundation organizes a conference in September 2007 on „Religion, Menschenrechte und Menschenrechtspolitik“ (Religion, Human Rights and Human Rights Policy). The conference will take place in Gummersbach, Germany from 07. to 09. September 2007. http://www.fnst.de/webcom/show_all_seminare.php/_lkm-639/i.html REMARKS Responsible for the conference on Religion and Human Rights: Mrs. Bärbel Beer: baerbel.beer@fnst.org, Tel.: 02261 / 3002-173 New entry: March 2007.
HARVARD UNIVERSITY ISLAMIC STUDIES PROGRAM Address Islamic Studies Program, Harvard University, 38 Kirkland street, Cambridge, MA 02138. Phone 617-495-8433 Fax Web No separate website yet. www.harvard.edu E-Mail jmadri@fas.harvard.edu (Jessica Madri, assistant). Category Research and Knowledge MISSION STATEMENT Harvard University today announced in December 2005 the creation of a University-wide program on Islamic studies, made possible by a $20 million gift from Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud. The new program will build on Harvard's strong commitment to the study of the religious traditions of the world. It will also augment Harvard's existing strength by increasing the number of faculty focused on Islamic studies. "I am pleased to support Islamic studies at Harvard and I hope that this program will enable generations of students and scholars to gain a thorough understanding of Islam and its role both in the past and in today's world," Prince Alwaleed said. "Bridging the understanding between East and West is important for peace and tolerance." This gift will make it possible to add strength in important disciplines such as the history of science and new areas of study, such as Islamic Inner-Asian, Southeast Asian, or South Asian studies. " Founding year 2005. BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITIES The Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Islamic Studies Program at Harvard University will bring together faculty, students, and researchers from across the University and will be housed within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) in close coordination with Harvard Divinity School. The program will establish four new faculty positions, enabling Harvard to attract a group of additional outstanding academics from a broad range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. An endowed chair known as the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Professor in Contemporary Islamic Thought and Life will be created, and an additional endowment fund will be established to support three senior professorships in other areas of Islamic studies. The program also will provide support for research, tuition, fees, and stipends for graduate students. In addition, the program will launch an initiative known as the Islamic Heritage Project, which will preserve and digitize historically significant Islamic materials and make vast quantities of the resulting images - including digitized texts of the classics of the Islamic tradition - available via the Internet. Among other things, this initiative will help guard against the potential loss of important texts, which could be endangered under a variety of circumstances, as demonstrated by the recent tragic destruction of manuscripts in Iraq and Bosnia and the neglect and deterioration of manuscript libraries around the world. REMARKS Even if not officially announced, it seems that the academic communities of Harvard and Georgetown were in disagree whether to accept the large sums of money from Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal. Roy P. Mottahedeh: Gurney Professor of History in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, has been appointed inaugural director of the new Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Islamic Studies Program at Harvard University. mottahed@fas.harvard.edu New entry: April 2007.
