About Us​
​

The MRN (Muslim Researchers' Network) is a platform that aims to promote progress and excellence in academic research conducted by Muslims spanning all subjects in the sciences and humanities.      
                                                                                                       
The objectives of MRN are threefold:
  1. To showcase research conducted by Muslims and to contextualise this in light of their faith.
  2. To encourage collaboration across different fields through building a vibrant network of Muslim academics.
  3. To encourage the next generation of Muslim students to excel in academia.​​
