TRENDS Research and Advisory’s virtual office
TRENDS’ Paris office aims to achieve several goals, most notably enhancing academic connectivity by building effective partnerships between think tanks, universities, and research institutes in the Arab world and the Francophone sphere. It also aims to promote joint research projects and the exchange of expertise, focusing on knowledge cooperation with France as a pivotal hub of Francophone research.
According to the statement, the TRENDS Research and Advisory office also seeks to keep abreast of and analyse knowledge production published in French, especially in digitisation, AI, geopolitical shifts, and social and environmental issues, and translate or simplify it for Arab readers.
Additionally, the office will encourage joint translation and publishing initiatives, promoting the translation of high-quality books and studies between Arabic and French to enhance the flow of knowledge and expand the reach of mutual intellectual and cultural influence.
