De IKC Academy is de wetenschappelijke tak van de stichting Islam Kennis Centrum. Want met juiste wetenschappelijk onderbouwde kennis, bereiken we sneller ons grotere doel.

Het doel van de IKC Academy

De alledaagse islam en de moslims in de Nederlandse samenleving verdienen een kwalitatieve analyse door middel van academisch veldonderzoek, interviews en observatie. De IKC Academy probeert dit te doen.

Eveneens door oplossingen te bieden voor de problemen van moslims die samenhangen met samenleven door gebruik te maken van de gegevens die de ervaren medewerkers van de IKC Academy uit het veld hebben verkregen.

Het zet concrete stappen door gebruik te maken van kritisch en creatief denken bij het bepalen van het probleem en het oplossen ervan. Het biedt theoretische en praktische handvatten voor formele en informele onderwijsinstellingen en speelt een actieve rol bij de implementatie ervan.

De IKC Academy deelt haar bevindingen en oplossingen met academici van nationale en internationale platforms, en maakt gebruik van de ervaring van deze netwerken en ontwikkelt samen met hen gezamenlijke projecten.
