Academics for Lebanon

Three years of diligent work with a group of multi-disciplinary Lebanese academics by the Lebanese Association for History, in collaboration with the Swiss Embassy in Lebanon and Syria, culminated in the launch of a newly emerging working group ‘Academics for Lebanon’ on February 27, 2025, at the Radisson Blu Hotel in the Ain el-Mreisseh, Beirut. The launch opens a new phase for the group, which will be followed by a number of intellectual and cultural activities, including webinars on the themes of identity, the state, and our shared life, as well as the launch of a glossary of political concepts and the group’s educational vision. Moreover, the group will launch a book that documents its discussions throughout the 3 years. An annual conference will also be organised with the first edition coming out in September.
