The "Annual Palestine Forum" is an academic conference organized by The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies and the Institute for Palestine Studies to provide a space for Palestinian and non-Palestinian researchers from all over the world to present papers related to Palestinian history, the Palestinian struggle, the apartheid regime, settler colonialism, Zionism, social and economic conditions under occupation, national liberation movements, the status of Palestine in Arab and international relations, public opinion and other relevant topics.

Rather than adopting an annual theme, this conference serves as an opportunity for researchers who are already working on papers for publication to present and discuss in the manner of large-scale academic conferences. Consequently, researcher will not be assigned papers to write with limited exceptions.

Participants who do not wish to submit research are nonetheless encouraged to register in advance to secure their attendance.

Both the Arab Center and the Institute for Palestine Studies recognize the opportunity for anyone interested in the Palestinian question to meet annually and exchange views. The two institutions are also confident that the conference will constitute an important lever, not only for scientific research on Palestine and the many associated topics but also to emphasize the centrality of the Palestinian cause and strengthen Arab and international interest in it.

The conference is held on an annual basis, with the first round organized on 28-30 January 2023.
