Berlin, 14 October 2024

Inauguration of the Afghanistan Research Hub at Humboldt University

The Afghanistan Research Hub (ARH) was jointly launched by the Berlin Institute for Empirical Research
on Integration & Migration (BIM) at Humboldt University and the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of
Afghanistan in Berlin. ARH is a collaborative platform for networking and connecting academics,
researchers, scholars and institutions working on Afghanistan and its diasporas within Germany and
Europe at large. Furthermore, the ARH aims to connect and foster the potential of Afghan academics
and researchers within the diaspora.
The initiative to establish the Afghanistan Research Hub was born in 2023 out of the cooperation
between the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan under the auspices of Ambassador Yama
Yari and the Berlin Institute for Empirical Research on Integration & Migration (BIM) at Humboldt
University.
