2026 CONFERENCE

Dear colleagues,

It is only five weeks until the start of the Fifteenth Biennial Iranian Studies Conference, which will take place from 5 to 8 August 2026 at Utrecht University. Please find attached the final programme and the book of abstracts. Please note that, for the sake of readability, we have shortened a few biographies and removed the bibliographies that were attached to some of the abstracts.

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to this international gathering in the Netherlands in August.

We wish you a wonderful summer and a safe journey to the Netherlands!

Asghar Seyed-Gohrab and Dominic Parviz Brookshaw
