The MENASP Network Webinar Series is a monthly virtual webinar (the last Wednesday at lunchtime of each month) that acts as a platform for speakers from within the network and external leading thinkers to present their research. The MENASP Network Webinar Series aims to enable Network members and wider audiences to access new and ground-breaking research on social policy and conflict prevention. The webinars encourage cross-regional research exchanges and policy learning hence, a Middle East focus is not essential though, where possible, reflection on this region or a MENA specific country is encouraged.
We’re very excited to share with you the agenda of our webinars for the Winter 2023 season below.
