 International Collaborations

Istanbul Foundation for Science and Culture (IIKV) collaborates with many reputable institutions from different continents to bring its scholarly accumulation and spiritual heritage to the international arena. These collaborations enable scholarly, cultural, and social projects shaped around Risale-i Nur to reach broader audiences and provide an opportunity to share universal values.

Here are some of the important international partnerships currently pursued by our foundation:
