The cooperation project runs over three years and is titled "Islamic law, gender and civil society in Indonesia and Germany" (Islamisches Recht, Gender und Zivilgesellschaft in Indonesien und Deutschland). It is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD within its program "Higher Educa tion Dialogue with the Muslim world" (Hochschuldialog mit der islamischen Welt). Both joint conferences of the first year took place in 2013, the first from 22 to 24 May in Gottingen and the second from 19 to 21 November in Yogyakarta.
