In the latest issue of the Lund University Research Magazine (LUM), the article "In narratives of hope, researchers come together for the future of Syria" was published. The article sheds light on two academic Syrian refugees and participants of the project Post Conflict Futures, initiated by the IIIEE and CMES at Lund University. Researcher Tareq Emtairah at the IIIEE has been the project leader of the Post Conflict Futures and concludes in the article:
‟We ran this project on a limited budget until now, thanks to the support from Lund University, MISTRA, and the county administrative board of Skåne. Our ambition is to take this to the next phase, if we are able to find more resources. We want the group to continue to build on the scenario work, or narratives of hope as we call them, now with more thematically focused dialogues on rebuilding strategies and options”.
