About

The Woolf Institute is an independent interfaith charity founded in 1998, specialising in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. We work closely with the University of Cambridge to fund postgraduate students, teach students in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and in the Cambridge Theological Federation, and work in partnership with St Edmund's College. We conduct research projects across a wide variety of academic disciplines, and engage with public partners in schools, healthcare, grassroots interfaith groups, community organising, and public policy. Through research, education, and public engagement we seek to better understand these faiths, build trust between people of different faiths, and increase understanding and cooperation in society between people of faith and those with other beliefs and worldviews. We are committed to asking the difficult questions, listening to the experiences of others, and creating opportunities and spaces for people to encounter one another across difference.
