Islam & Liberty Network (ILN) is a global platform of researchers and academics building knowledge and expertise on the Islamic notions of economic, political and religious liberties. Its flagship event is an international annual conference which brings together academics and researchers to present and discuss papers on the current discourse on Islam, society and the world at large under the over-arching theme of Islam and liberty.

The conference also helps to build the capacity of scholars and researchers working on Islam. We have organized five international conferences since 2012. The most recent conference Democratic Transitions in the Muslim World was organized in Kuala Lumpur on 27-28 November 2017 at the International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies Malaysia.
