As part of the official visit of the NCCMR Steering Committee, the delegation visited the Dominican Institute for Oriental Studies (IDEO) in Cairo, one of the Network’s member centers. Fr. Emmanuel Pisani, Director of IDEO, welcomed the delegation and introduced the institute’s vision, its academic programs, and its long-standing contribution to the study of Islamic heritage and scholarship, as well as its role in supporting Christian–Muslim relations. The visit included a tour of IDEO’s renowned library, one of the world’s most significant collections of specialized works in Islamic studies. NCCMR extends its gratitude to Fr Pisani and salutes IDEO’s important work and looks forward to strengthening collaboration through future joint research and academic initiatives. #NCCMR
