The Fujairah International Conference for Calligraphy and Decoration is a leading intellectual and cultural platform dedicated to the study of Arabic and Islamic calligraphy and decoration arts in their historical and contemporary contexts. The second edition of the conference was held in October 2025 in the Emirate of Fujairah, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad Al Sharqi, Crown Prince of Fujairah.
The conference brought together an elite group of researchers, artists, and specialists from around the world. Through research papers and scientific lectures, it discussed multiple themes covering the history of calligraphy and ornamentation, their applications in manuscripts and architecture, and their transformations in contemporary artistic practices. The conference also served as a space for academic dialogue and the exchange of expertise, contributing to a deeper exploration of these arts as a living heritage capable of renewal and development.
The conference is part of a comprehensive vision aimed at consolidating Fujairah's position as an international centre for knowledge and research in calligraphy and ornamentation arts, and enhancing the presence of these arts in the contemporary cultural scene.
