About us
The Observatory on the EU-MENA Relations (OEMR) is dedicated to highlighting the importance of the relationship between the EU and the MENA region. To this end, we conduct thorough multidisciplinary research on the EU-MENA affairs, facilitate dialogue on topical concerns, and bring people together to exchange ideas and develop initiatives. In addition to providing a platform for scholars who focus on the study of the relations between the regions, the Observatory also utilizes various avenues to facilitate deeper understanding of the importance of the relationship between the EU and the MENA region, such as webinars, discussions, and podcasting.
