Orients Occidents Nexus is a non-profit, non-governmental, independent cultural institute of private law based in Berlin, Germany; it is a structure of research and cultural dialogue in the fields of Humanities, Literature and Arts; it is also a Think-Tank, a laboratory of ideas and reflection.

The institute’s mission is to study and promote the cultural and historical relations between Orient and Occident. Far from misrepresentations and beyond the familiar stereotypes and general opinions, it pursuits a redefinition of Orient and Occident and their connections, where the plurality of the Orient and the Occident is highlighted.

Alongside with studying and emphasizing the mutual contribution of Works, Ideas, and Personalities of Orient and Occident to each other’s culture, as well as the recognition of the historical connections and the common heritage between Orient and Occident, the institute proposes a new approach to mutual understanding, through the perception of the Occident by the Orient, namely reception in the East, especially the Arabic-speaking world, of works and personalities eminently Western. It endeavors to make possible for European self-perception to be revealed in the reflection of other non-European societies. At the same time, it spreads the cultural foundations for mutual understanding and actively promotes a serious dialogue between cultures and their coexistence.
