Royal Institute for 

Inter-Faith Studies (RIIFS)
 

Established in 1994 in Amman, Jordan, under the patronage of HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal, the Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies (RIIFS) provides a venue in the Arab world for the interdisciplinary study and rational discussion of religion and religious issues, with particular reference to Christianity in Arab and Islamic society.

More recently, RIIFS has broadened its focus to include all issues pertaining to religious, cultural and civilizational diversity, regionally and globally. For this purpose, it maintains relations with similarly concerned academic institutions in different parts of the world.

RIIFS is governed by a board of trustees chaired by His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal. It is funded by an annual grant from the government of Jordan obtained through Majlis El Hassan, as well as by private donations. The director of RIIFS is Professor Fehmi Jadaane. Prof Jadaane holds Doctorat d'Etat ès Lettres, University of Paris (Sorbonne, Paris). He worked as Professor of Philosophy, and Arabic and Islamic Thought in several Arab Universities. Prof. Jadaane was appointed to lead RIIFS on 15 August 2009.
