Administrative Assistant and Events Coordinator

RELIEF Centre, a collaboration between University College London, American University of Beirut, and Centre for Lebanese Studies at the Lebanese American University, is a transdisciplinary research collaboration that focuses on one of the world’s pressing challenges of the moment: how to build a prosperous and inclusive future for communities affected by mass displacement. Our research focuses on how we can measure prosperity and growth in Lebanon, moving beyond indices like GDP to include measures of wellbeing, health, employment and education.

The RELIEF Centre also runs Fast Forward 2030 Lebanon, which is a network and collaborative platform for businesses in Lebanon that incorporate the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their business models. It seeks to bring businesses working in this area together to support them in developing common approaches to global challenges. Fast Forward 2030 Lebanon was set up in 2018 following a series of scoping conversations with entrepreneurs working with the SDGs to uncover the innovations happening in Lebanon that address challenges in sustainable development. Fast Forward 2030 Lebanon is a sister of Fast Forward 2030 London.
