SHARIF INTERNATIONAL

SCHOOL ON THEISM

EAST AND WEST

Sharif International School on Theism: East and West, hosted annually at Sharif University of Technology since 2021, is a premier theological-philosophical event with a 10-year vision. Its initial three years explored foundational themes: “God,” “Humanity,” and “Nature.” The subsequent phase examines the interplay between theology and natural and human sciences. In its fourth year, the school addressed theology’s foundations and evolutionary interpretations. Now, in its fifth year, from October 13–16, 2025, distinguished international and Iranian scholars will delve into “Physics and Cognitive Sciences.” This online event fosters intellectual exchange and welcomes inquisitive minds.
