WELCOME TO
THE CZECH-SLOVAK INSTITUTE OF ORIENTAL STUDIES
As graduates specializing in Middle East Studies, our journey has taken us from the halls of academia to the complex, dynamic realities of the Middle East.
Throughout our experiences, we recognized the critical need for a deeper, more nuanced understanding of this region - a need that extends beyond academia and into society at large. It is with this understanding that we founded CSIORS.
Our vision is to illuminate the Middle East's intricacies - its politics, culture, challenges, and potential - to a global audience. We aim to bridge the gap between rigorous academic knowledge and public understanding, transforming the way the Middle East is perceived and discussed.
Through CSIORS, we delve into significant issues such as extremism, migration, violence, and the critical role of journalism in shaping narratives. In doing so, we strive to challenge preconceived notions, stimulate informed dialogue, and ultimately, influence effective policymaking.
We invite you to join us on this journey. As we navigate through the Middle East's complexities, we remain guided by our commitment to truth, respect, and peace. Let's work together to foster a deeper understanding and a more compassionate approach to the multifaceted realities of the Middle East.
