EFSAS speaks at International Peace Science Conference in the Hague
June 25, 2019
Mr. Junaid Qureshi, Director of the European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS), was invited as a special guest during a Session of the 19th Jan Tinbergen European Peace Science Conference involving representatives of civil society organisations in order to share his expertise and opinion. Mr. Qureshi provided an invaluable insight on how Think-Tanks and civil society groups act as facilitators between the realms of academic work and policy-making. He explained how NGOs obtain the unique position of mediators and facilitators, helping to breach the gap between scholars and decision-making bodies, through fostering open dialogue and providing platforms for the dissemination of academic research, which ultimately could positively influence policies at the regional, national and international level.
