Welcome to the BASIS Middle East Committee
The BASIS Middle East Committee is a student-driven platform dedicated to informed dialogue, intellectual exploration and experience of the MENA region. Our mission is to educate, discuss, and broaden horizons in the academic community of International Studies and beyond.
We provide:
- Academic events featuring scholars, researchers, and policy experts
- Panel discussions and debates on current political, economic, and social developments
- Cultural events that explore language, art, history, and identity
- External visits to institutions, embassies, and relevant organizations
- Professional networking opportunities with practitioners working in diplomacy, research, development, journalism, and beyond
Our goal is not only to understand the region from a distance, but to create spaces for encounters — with ideas, with professionals, and with diverse perspectives.
Whether you are interested in geopolitics, culture, language, economics, or international cooperation, the BASIS Middle East Committee offers a platform to engage critically and constructively with one of the most important regions of our time.
We look forward to welcoming you.
