The Australian Association of Islamic and Muslim Studies (AAIMS) is a scholarly, non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing the academic study of Islam and Muslim societies in Australia and globally. AAIMS serves as a platform for researchers, educators, students, and professionals to exchange knowledge, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and promote informed and balanced discussions about Islam and Muslim communities. The association organises conferences, seminars, and public events that encourage critical engagement with topics such as Islamic thought, history, education, culture, politics, and contemporary issues. By facilitating dialogue between academia and the wider public, AAIMS seeks to enhance understanding, challenge misconceptions, and contribute to social cohesion in multicultural contexts.
