The Syrian Academics and Researchers Group Meeting 

Thursday 12 Dec 2024, Online, Zoom

Today, a brutal 54-year dictatorship in our home country, Syria, has come to an end. In this regard, we invite all Syrian academics and researchers in the UK to join our upcoming meeting on Thursday at 9 AM UK time. Let us put our minds and hearts together to think about how we can contribute to building Syria the way we envision it.
