Title
AIIrS - THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF IRANIAN STUDIES
Description
The American Institute of Iranian Studies (AIIrS) is a non-profit, non-governmental overseas research organization. It is an academic consortium, of which the members are universities and museums in North America with interests in the study of Iranian culture and civilization. Its officers and committee members are scholars representing member institutions as Trustees who serve voluntarily in order to promote international scholarly exchange and independent research in Iranian Studies.
In representing the interests of member organizations the American Institute seeks to support the advancement of knowledge and understanding of Iran and Iranian culture and civilization from the earliest periods to the present. The Institute’s purview comprises the historical Iranian world of Central Asia, the Middle East and South Asia as well as the modern political state of Iran. The Institute also works with Iranian humanists and social scientists to promote and facilitate their research in the United States.
The Institute was founded in 1967. From 1969 until late 1979 the Institute maintained a Center in Tehran with a resident American director. In addition to providing hostel facilities and the means of bringing together American and Iranian colleagues, the director formally represented American scholars and students to the Iranian government in all official matters connected with the pursuit of research in Iran.
