Roshan Cultural Heritage Institute has provided grants to The International Society for Iranian Studies since 2002 to support its Biennial Iranian Studies Conference. These conferences are the largest world-wide gatherings of scholars, who are engaged in the various disciplines of this broad field, and include academic presentations as well as cultural events and networking opportunities.
Roshan Institute is pleased to sponsor the Tenth Biennial Iranian Studies Conference, which will be held from August 6 – 10, 2014 in Montréal, Canada, under the leadership of current ISIS President Dr. Mehrzad Boroujerdi. It will be hosted by the Centre for Iranian Studies at Concordia University (whose Director Professor Richard Foltz is the Conference Chair) and the Institute of Islamic Studies at McGill University. Almost 100 panels are planned on a variety of subjects in Iranian Studies. The final Conference Program will be forthcoming.
