The Danish Institute in Damascus opened in 2000 in the magnificent Bayt al-Aqqad in Old Damascus. 

The institute is the only Danish institution in the Arab world focusing on science. It supports and organizes seminars and workshops temporarily outside Syria. The main purpose of the institute is to build bridges between scholars and artists in the Arabs and Muslim world and Denmark. 

Twice a year the institute distribute grants to scholars and students who study the Middle East.

Bayt al-Aqqad is temporarily closed. When open it offers rooms for scholars, students and artists carrying out field work in Syria. Bayt al-Aqqad also offers a beautiful frame for cultural events where Syrian and Arab culture meets Danish culture.
