Centre for Lebanese Studies

The Centre for Lebanese Studies was founded in 1984 by a group of Lebanese in London, who had been meeting regularly for a year concerned with the state of affairs in their country. Their objective was to set up an independent academic institution that would undertake impartial and balanced research and contribute towards Lebanon’s recovery and long-term stability. They aimed to promote a better understanding of Lebanon and to help find solutions for its problems. As a registered charity (registration number 298375), the Centre for Lebanese Studies is governed by a board dedicated to its existence and success.
