About CEMEP

At the Center for European and Middle East Policy, we pursue a dual mandate: to generate policy-relevant research of the highest caliber, and to shape the strategic thinking of the next generation of leaders and decision-makers across Europe and the Middle East.

Rooted in a forward-leaning vision, CEMEP convenes a multidisciplinary community of scholars, practitioners, and technologists to address the region’s most pressing challenges. Our work integrates insights from international relations, security studies, economic statecraft, and emerging technologies—bridging the divide between academic rigor and actionable policy.

We are committed to advancing strategic priorities that will define the coming decades. Through rigorous analysis, incisive policy briefs, and a diverse portfolio of publications, we aim to inform and empower those at the helm of diplomacy, governance, and global affairs.

At the heart of CEMEP is an emerging intellectual community—anchored by a dedicated team of policy researchers and strategic thinkers—with a vision to cultivate a broader ecosystem of scholars and practitioners committed to shaping a more secure, prosperous, and stable Europe and Middle East.

Our lodestar is clear: to catalyze ideas that shape policy, and policy that shapes the future
