The first three meetings were held in Melbourne, Australia, after which subsequent meetings were hosted internationally in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Durham University,and Lancaster University in the U.K.as well as UUM, INCEIF & Sunway University in Malaysia. This series of conferences has led to the publication of eight peer-reviewed books (see page 4 for examples) on Islamic banking, sukuk, financial institutions, wealth management, economics & banking risk published by reputed publishers Edward Elgar, John Wiley, etc. Islamic Finance
series together with the best papers identified published at each meeting and also published independently by paper presenters in journals over nine years, there is strong evidence of creating an authentic literature by the FIFC. We invite you to participate.
