The fundamental mission of the Dominican Institute of Oriental Studies (Idéo) is to explore the theological and philosophical heritage of Islam and the richness of Islamic cultures. This task is carried out within Egyptian society thanks to the immersion of its researchers, Dominicans and lay people, who reside in Cairo, with the aim of fostering a theology which encourages fraternal communion with Muslims by highlighting the truths inscribed in their religious traditions.

The Anawati Chair, established in 2023 within Ideo, is dedicated to the promotion of interreligious dialogue through the deconstruction of extremist and exclusivist discourses. Through its research and educational programs, the chair advocates for values of openness, respect, and civic equality.
