Research
The Heart of Asia Society focuses on independent research as a main tool to create knowledge and promote understanding. Our in-house research capacity, consisting of experienced Afghan and expatriate researchers, covers a range of key disciplines.
Using our in-house research capacity and, where necessary, drawing on partners from within and outside Afghanistan, we can:
– Carry out in-house or commissioned cross-disciplinary research and studies on topics of relevance to the goals of the Society;
– Participate in nationwide, regional and international academic initiatives with a focus on Afghanistan and the region;
– Organise academic debates, seminars and academic conferences involving scholars from the relevant countries;
– Host visiting scholars and researchers from partner thinktanks and academic institutions in the region globally;
– Produce, with support from other relevant entities, an inventory of independent academic and research institutions across the region;
– Promote contact, affiliations and exchange programmes with regional and international thinktanks; and
– Publish academic papers, reports and books.
