As you journey through the site, you will find out more about European Union (EU)-Syrian relations and the activities of our EU Delegation.

Today the European Union is the country's largest donor. EU and Syria have shared interest towards a stable and prosperous region. The partnership between the European Union and Syria covers many areas. With 27 countries, nearly 500 million people and one of the largest GDP's in the world, the EU has a lot to offer to Syria in terms of both support and expertise to the country's reforms, business opportunities and exchange, and people-to-people dialogue in fields such as education, culture and other social spheres. Through this website you will discover the many possibilities of EU-Syria exchange and dialogue, through scholarships, conferences, training, technical cooperation, competitions and many other opportunities.

This website is designed to serve as a doorway to the EU, its institutions and policies. Here you will find an overview of the EU, its relations and cooperation with Syria and the Mediterranean region. It is also a useful tool to seek information on upcoming events organised by the Delegation and the activities of the Embassies and Cultural Centres of the EU Member States established in Syria.

You can also keep in touch with all the latest bilateral and regional developments in European Union-Syrian relations by checking for the latest press releases and press announcements on the home page and the Press Corner.

Your comments and suggestions on this site are, of course, most welcome. Please do not hesitate to contact us at: delegation-syria@eeas.europa.eu

Warmest regards
