The Middle East Institute is an autonomous research institute within the National University of Singapore (NUS). From its vantage point in Singapore, a crossroads of the world, the Middle East Institute exists to advance understanding of the Middle East, and to deepen engagements between the Middle East and Asia. We do this through research, and aim to provide reasoned views to scholars, students, policymakers, businesses and the public through publications, lectures, consultations and outreach. We host speakers and visitors from and on the Middle East, and serve as a concourse for exchanging ideas and information on the Middle East in Singapore, Asia and the world.
