The Annual International Conference on Islamic Studies (AICIS) has been a cornerstone of Islamic scholarship in Indonesia since its humble beginnings in 2001 as the Annual Conference on Islamic Studies (ACIS). Initially focused on traditional religious studies, ACIS provided a vital platform for scholars to engage in deep theological and cultural discourse. In 2012, the conference embraced a broader, global vision and was rebranded as AICIS, fostering international dialogue and expanding its reach to include diverse perspectives from around the world.

In 2025, AICIS evolves into AICIS+, the Annual International Conference on Islam, Science, and Society, marking a transformative milestone in its journey. This new identity reflects a bold shift, moving beyond traditional Islamic studies to embrace interdisciplinary exploration at the intersection of Islam, science, technology, and societal challenges. AICIS+ aims to foster innovative solutions to pressing global issues, such as environmental sustainability, economic justice, public health, and technological transformation, while remaining rooted in the rich heritage of Islamic scholarship.

Supported by the Directorate General of Islamic Education, Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, AICIS+ embodies a commitment to advancing Islamic higher education. As Prof. Amien Suyitno, Director General of Islamic Education, aptly stated, “AICIS+ goes beyond theoretical discourse. It aims to connect Islam with empirical inquiry and to foster innovation that can respond to global challenges.” This vision positions AICIS+ as a dynamic platform for collaboration, uniting scholars, practitioners, and innovators to address the complexities of the modern world.

The upcoming AICIS+ 2025 conference, to be held from 29–31 October 2025 at the Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII) campus in Depok, West Java, Indonesia, will showcase this transformative vision. Under the theme Islam, Ecotheology, and Technological Transformation: Multidisciplinary Innovations for an Equitable and Sustainable Future, the event will bring together global thought leaders to explore solutions that integrate Islamic values with scientific and societal advancements.

From its modest origins to its current evolution, AICIS+ remains dedicated to fostering dialogue, advancing knowledge, and inspiring solutions that promote justice, equity, and sustainability. Join us at AICIS+ 2025 as we continue this legacy of transformation, bridging tradition and innovation to shape a better future.
