Our Impact

The Institute of Middle Eastern Studies has a long and rich history of conducting innovative and impactful research on a wide range of issues and countries. Drawing on an array of disciplines, its members continue to shape and influence academic debates, public opinion and practitioner thinking.

Over the past year, its members have worked with a range of non-academic partners based both in the United Kingdom and elsewhere including the UK Parliament, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Department for International Development and Ministry of Defence, the British Academy, and several charities and other non-governmental organisations.

Members also continue to inform public opinion on key developments in the region and routinely contribute to a wide array of domestic and international media outlets.
