It aimed at stimulating new approaches and policy responses to the Syrian conflict through a regular dialogue between researchers, policymakers, donors, and practitioners. It also aimed at building and empowering a network of Syrian researchers that will contribute to research informing international policy and practice related to their country.In three years of activity, the project produced more than 60 publications written by 13 Syrian researchers coached within the framework of the programme.
