IRSEA's FOCUS Middle East & North Africa Programme undertakes research, organises and participates in events and roundtable discussions centered on key political, economic and social developments related to the region, while paying a particular attention to the role of the Middle East in the Europe-Asia interplay.

 

As a convenor and contributor with a constructive capital and accomodating view, IRSEA brings together policy makers, professionals, academics, junior scholars and private entities to generate a forward-thinking dialogue, based on mutual respect and reciprocity.

FOCUS MENA Programme attaches a great importance on creating informed, pertinent and thought-provoking analyses addressing a volatile region facing both challenges and opportunities for the Europe-Asia political, economic and social linkages.
