Emirates Policy Center

The Emirates Policy Center (EPC) is the first woman-led independent think tank in the region. Established on September 1, 2013, the Center is based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

We specialize in forecasting the future of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries, regional and international policy trends, and the impact of different geopolitical projects on the region.

Our interest primarily focuses on the UAE and its foreign relations, in addition to the Arabian Gulf's regional and international interactions.

Our comprehensive Research Units are based on geographical areas (GCC, Iran, Egypt, Turkey, etc.), and are specialized in topics of interest ranging from extremism to energy.

We release a variety of publications under the scope of policy papers, policy alerts, position papers, background papers, policy analysis, content analysis and translations.
