Research

Since 2022, the research department at IMPACT has been restructured and relaunched under the name IMPACT Research. Along with a distinct visual identity, the website www.impactres.org was created to allow the department to operate autonomously with a broad mandate. IMPACT Research primarily focuses on political and economic issues in the Middle East and Europe, with a special emphasis on civil society and diaspora-related topics.

The department is supported by a growing network of external expert researchers who produce research collections, policy papers, briefs, and background reports. IMPACT Research acts as a laboratory for new ideas, perspectives, and initiatives, emphasizing local knowledge production through participatory research methods.

Our research aims to reach official decision-makers and also examines influencers across civil society, business, and community leadership. To ensure broad accessibility, all research is published in both Arabic and English, and we make a concerted effort to share research findings and recommendations with relevant actors.

As an integral part of IMPACT’s overall operations, the research department supports all other programs by offering assessments and recommendations that inform program design.
