About

The Syrian Academics and Researchers Network-UK is a multi-disciplinary network for Syrian academics and researchers in the UK. It aims to foster and facilitate collaboration and communication between Syrian academics and researchers, both within the UK and with the wider international academic community. The network has six objectives: 

1. Creating a platform that enables Syrian academics and researchers in the UK to connect, communicate, debate and collaborate locally and internationally.

2. Contribute to the knowledge production and shaping the discourse on Syria.

3. Support Syrian exiled academics and shed light on an underrepresented strand of the Syrian exodus.

4. Support Syrian early-career researchers to become established academics and contribute to the future of Syria.

5. Bridging academia, policy making and the community by translating our academic research into tangible projects with an impact beyond the academy.

6. Support HE in Syria by creating infrastructures and mechanisms to enable supporting education in the future.

Our vision is to become a network that includes and empowers all Syrian academics and researchers in the UK to enrich research, knowledge production, and education towards a revitalised future in Syria.
