New Initiative for Middle East Peace (NIMEP)
NIMEP is a non-polemical student think-tank and outreach initiative aimed at finding progressive solutions to the historic conflicts in the Middle East. NIMEP publishes an annual journal, NIMEP Insights, that features student research papers, and NIMEP also initiated the Soliya course, a web-based videoconferencing course in which small groups of university students from the US and predominantly Muslim Countries in the Middle East engage in intensive dialogue about the relationship between the US and the Arab and Muslim World.
