"The Aleppo Project" at the Central European University's Center for Conflict, Negotiation and Recovery (CCNR) aims to capture information about the past of the Syrian city, document life in the city, analyze the conflict that is destroying it, and help residents plan for the future.

CCNR is developing a website where we will publish our studies and findings, but also document the "Aleppo experience". We intend for this site to be an open collaboration and invite experts, residents, former residents or anyone with Aleppo-related experience to submit:

• Blog entries depicting day-to-day life in the city. Such entries can be creative or simply documents, and can include, photo essays, before and after war price lists, descriptions of how one conducts day-to-day chores (such as traveling from one side of the city to the other or buying groceries) etc.
• Academic articles and research papers in various disciplines, such as urban planning and architecture, tangible and intangible (cultural) heritage, civil administration, economics, development, and governance
• (Policy) recommendations for Aleppo now and post-conflict
• Views regarding how city planning and management was before the conflict and now

Please send contributions to aleppo@ceu.edu, indicating whether you would like your name and/or contact and professional information published. Blog entries should be around 600 words. Academic papers can be any length. Policy papers should have a one-page overview, six-page summary and about 25 page report. Submissions can be in Arabic, Kurdish, or any other language spoken in Syria, as well as English and French.
