As the research center of The American Institute for Maghrib Studies (AIMS) in Morocco, TALIM has hosted many AIMS conferences on a wide variety of subjects – the status of women in North Africa, the walled Arab city in history, environmental issues, language in North Africa, North African literature, and a conference on Rethinking the Jewish Presence in North Africa. The 2009 AIMS conference was held in Tangier on the topic of "Saharan Crossroads: Views from the North," exploring the history and dynamics of filmmaking in and about North African region. Through these periodic AIMS conferences, TALIM encourages communication among North African scholars introducing them to the resources of the TALIM research library. The AIMS Maghribi scholar program, administered in Morocco by TALIM, complements this objective by offering short term grants to Tunisian and Algerian scholars to conduct research in Morocco.
