The British Institute in Amman

The British Institute in Amman is an international research institute in Jordan. We have been at the centre of British research and scholarly life in Amman for decades. In addition, since 1998 we have been part of the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL), a wider regional network that engages all disciplines of the humanities and social sciences. In 2009, we adopted the title the British Institute in Amman (BIA) reflecting both common usage and the wider disciplinary coverage. We are registered as a charity in the UK and with the Ministry of Culture in Jordan. We are a scholarly community offering facilities, support and advice to visiting and local researchers, and provide a venue for thought, critical reflection and the exchange of knowledge. We facilitate access to broader academic communities in Jordan and beyond through our well-established networks.
