BISI Announcement of Major Donation from Meditor Trust to Support Iraqi Cultural Heritage

The British Institute for the Study of Iraq Council is pleased to share with BISI members, friends, and supporters’ recent news of a major donation from Meditor Trust to create a new BISI Fund for Iraq. This donation will enable the Institute to support the advancement of work in Iraq and the UK on Iraqi cultural heritage by providing an annual BISI Visiting Scholarship; as well as targeted support for training and equipment for Iraqi universities, museums, and other heritage entities; academic conferences on Iraqi heritage matters; attendance for Iraqi scholars at international conferences; and other activities recognised by the BISI as meriting support.

Guidance will be on the BISI website’s Grant & Scholarship page in July.

This unprecedented donation to the BISI will enable the Institute to fulfil its core mission to advance research and public education relating to Iraq and Iraqi cultural heritage.
