==========================================.

The Hamad Bin Khalifa Symposium on Islamic Art strives to foster the
development of an international community of researchers and scholars in
Islamic art and cultures. The Hamad Bin Khalifa Symposium on Islamic Art
Fellowship provides financial support for conference attendance and to
provide recognition of serious scholars from diverse geographic and
cultural areas including those from the less developed and less

Islamic Art and Culture Symposium in Doha, Qatar is an opportunity for
advanced students and other scholars to meet and interact with other
