Het seminar is onderdeel van een reeks seminars over het thema Islam in Europa tijdens het interbellum (de periode tussen de Eerste en Tweede Wereldoorlog). Deze seminars behoren tot een onderzoeksproject, onder leiding van Universitair Hoofddocent Umar Ryad, over de islam in Europa tijdens het interbellum in opdracht van de European Research Council (een Europese onderzoeksraad ter bevordering van de wetenschap).
