The Lausanne Project

The Project takes its name from the longest-lasting of the post-First World War peace settlements: the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne. Lausanne redrew borders and forcibly displaced well over a million people, all in the name of peace. Our programs provide a forum for scholars to share research on relations between the Middle East and the rest of the world, to collaborate with high school teachers, artists and curators, and to inform contemporary debates around identity, faith, migration and health.
