Description
Summary:The Institute of International Education (IIE), a non-profit organization based in New York City that supports international researchers, estimates that thousands of displaced scientists from nations such as Syria, Iraq and Yemen are now living as refugees elsewhere. CARA launched a Syria programme in 2016 following a huge increase in the number of academics seeking help after fleeing the country, where civil war broke out in 2011. ADNANALMOHAMAD IMPROVING MY ENGLISH WOULD CHANGE EVERYTHING I came back to Syria in 2008 with my wife and three children, after earning a master's degree in social sciences in France that focused on archaeological antiquities. CARA then awarded me a grant to conduct research on the destruction and looting of Syrian cultural heritage sites, particularly in Manbij and surrounding areas.
