A group of eleven scholars from nine countries visited IIIT on Thursday, March 26, 2008. The group, who are mainly specialized in religious studies and philosophy, came to the United States to participate in a month long seminar on “Faith and Reason Today” organized by the Council for Research on Values and Philosophy, the Catholic University, Washington D.C.

Members of the Northern Virginia Catholic-Muslim Dialog group were hosted for a review and planning meeting at IIIT earlier this month. The meeting was a follow-up of an agreement signed between Catholic and Muslim religious leaders signed more than a year ago.
