The Middle East- it dominates world news, is a major source of energy, is the birthplace of the world's major religions, and is vital to global security. At no time has understanding between this region and the rest of the world been more important.

Practical Middle East Solutions Through Understanding

The Euphrates Institute develops innovative and practical solutions, sensible policies and projects to build bridges and bring understanding to the relationship between the Middle East and the West.

The Euphrates Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving relations between the Middle Eastern and Western worlds through projects that meet people's practical needs. The Institute is named for the river that has connected the East and West since the time of ancient civilizations.

In the current time of strained relations and misunderstandings between the Middle East and the West, we hope The Euphrates Institute will be a step toward renewing the link that the Euphrates river, its namesake, represents.
