The American Institute of Iranian Studies (AIIrS) has been named an institutional member for the International Society for Iranian Studies (ISIS), founded the same year as AIIrS in 1967, as an academic society to support the field of Iranian Studies internationally. Like AIIrS, ISIS is a private, not-for-profit, non-political organization whose mission is to promote scholarship in the field and the teaching of Iranian Studies at the university level, and to facilitate exchange and collaboration among scholars. ISIS holds a biennial conference and AIIrS played a prominent role in this year’s Sixth Biennial Conference of Iranian Studies, held in London, acting as one of the principle supporting organizations of the conference and supplying travel grants for twenty-five scholars from Iran to attend and present papers. The organizers and participants at the conference considered the large numbers of Iranians scholars in attendance (especially younger academics) to be a positive development for the field and a notable success for the conference.
