At the State University of Jakarta two open days were held, attracting over 250 students while at the University Udayana, Denpasar, Ben Abdeljelil held several information sessions as well as a number of meetings with faculty.
Through these visits and meetings with faculty and students, AKU-ISMC hopes to share its educational vision and learn from other institutions undertaking research and teaching about the study of Muslim cultures and heritages. In doing so, AKU-ISMC is endeavouring to build opportunities for further engagement and collaboration with institutions internationally. As part of this process, during November and December 2007, other AKU-ISMC faculty members visited Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Iran, Turkey, and the USA.
