The Gulf Research Centre Cambridge
The Gulf Research Centre Cambridge (GRC-C) has been established by the Geneva-based Gulf Research Centre with the view of fostering and promoting academic studies and policy oriented research on the Gulf region – i.e. the Gulf Cooperation Council member countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as well as Iran, Iraq and Yemen. GRC-C also aims to encourage scholarly cooperation and exchange between Gulf-based and UK-based academics through organising conferences, seminars, workshops and meetings related to Gulf issues and through publication of its research output.The Gulf Research Centre Cambridge is a registered charity organization under the Charity Commission for England and Wales and can therefore receive tax deductible donations.
The next Gulf Research Meeting will take place between 21 – 23 July 2020 at the University of Cambridge. For more information and the call for papers please click here.
