The call for projects “Research in Crisis-Affected Contexts: Continuity, Participation, and Reconstruction” aims to foster impactful partnerships that bridge academic inquiry with practical and policy-oriented solutions. It seeks to catalyze meaningful, context-aware collaborations between researchers in Switzerland and partners in the MENA region, both during crises and in support of long-term recovery and stability efforts.
Open to all disciplines, the call prioritizes projects involving institutions in fragile or crisis-affected settings across the region. Relevant themes include (but are not limited to) access to essential services (health, education); multifaceted impacts of crises on populations; social, economic and political reforms; peace and reconciliation; sustainable management of natural and cultural resources; strengthening of local capacities; link between research and public policy.
