IRCICA Newsletter is published three times since 1984, in the three offical languages of the OIC (English, French and Arabic) and distributed to nearly 8000 institutions and personalities in 130 countries. It gives news on cultural, academic and artistic activities taking place in the world and related to Islamic studies in general and the cultural aspects of Muslim countries and communities in particular. It also includes news about activities of the OIC and IRCICA, in addition to briefs on conferences, symposia and exhibitions from around the world, and book reviews.
