Middle East and Islamic Consortium (MEICON)
The Middle East and Islamic Consortium of British Columbia (MEICON-BC) was founded in 2008 as a collaborative project of the University of Victoria (UVic), Simon Fraser University (SFU), and the University of British Columbia (UBC) with the participation of other universities and colleges in British Columbia. Its purpose is to provide an organizational basis for communication and cooperation among academics interested in the study of the Middle East and Muslim societies and cultures. They host an annual student conference (typically held in March of each year), where students are invited to present their papers and receive feedback and support in a lively and nurturing environment.
