Coexist’s “Nurani” project, to develop digital dialogues between Muslims, Christians and Jews, has won a prestigious UK Research Councils’ grant worth $450,000.
Developed with Coexist’s partners at the Cambridge Inter-faith Programme and Meedan – a leading provider of advanced translation technologies, Nurani is a pioneering web service that enables cross-language discussions between religious leaders and scholars in Arabic and English.
The research grant, which is part of the highly competitive Digital Economy Programme, will support the creation of the world’s first inter-faith library of religious texts and the further development of Nurani into a toolkit which can be downloaded to facilitate cross-language scriptural dialogue.
