We’re proud to launch the European Syria Institute, a new think tank focused on the future of Syria.
Our mission is to bridge research, policy, and local realities to support peace, development, and dialogue. At a time when Syria’s challenges and opportunities are often misunderstood or overlooked, we aim to bring fresh insights and grounded perspectives to the table.
