An international network

Information in the EURISLAM database is provided by the members of a European network, founded by Felice Dassetto (CISMOC, Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium) and Franck Frégosi (CNRS – PRISME / SDRE, Strasbourg, France). The network brings together specialists on Muslims and Islam in Europe in order to promote communication between different disciplinary fields, stimulate research and facilitate access to bibliographical information.

EURISLAM: a bibliographical database
on Islam in Europe

EURISLAM is an open access database available to all but designed especially for academics, public organisations and officials.
It indexes publications concerning two major aspects of Islam in geographical Europe: the current state of Muslim populations in European societies (minority groups, immigration issues, leadership, institutions, public policies, trends, etc.) and Islam as religion (beliefs, practices, values, movements and schools of thought, etc.).
The database contains reviews of press articles, books, contributions to collective publications, studies and reports, theses and grey literature.
Currently, more than 4,200 references are consultable free of charge in French or English.
