Current Projects
SALAM
Sustaining Alternative Links beyond Arms and the Military
Why are the European and North American relationships with the Middle East & North Africa so dependent on arms sales? And what could be achieved if we had the vision to redefine security in broader constructive and collaborative terms?
SALAM invites leading and emerging voices in Middle East security to present and debate their ideas in a series of round-table discussions from which synthesis papers will be produced.
ATLAS
Advancing Thought Leadership for Alternative Security
Launching in Spring 2026
The PRISME ATLAS is a searchable directory of scholars, practitioners, and policy voices working on inclusive, sustainable approaches to security in and with the MENA region.
As with all of PRISME’s work, the ATLAS emphasizes diversity—of geography, generation, and perspective. It connects people producing critical knowledge across the Middle East & North Africa, Europe, and North America, and makes their work easier to find, cite, and collaborate with.

Future Projects
Young Residencies
Bringing together the next generation of critical security visionaries
Another long-term goal of the PRISME initiative is to provide a place for emerging scholars considering sustainable security in the Middle East & North Africa to develop their ideas among peers from diverse backgrounds.
While this branch of our work remains an aspiration at present, we will continue to explore routes to make it a reality.
