The Social and Media Studies Institute is a leading think tank and research center based in Casablanca, Morocco, committed to advancing scientific research and the dissemination of knowledge in social sciences, law, economics, and media studies. Founded in mid-2019 by a collective of distinguished Moroccan scholars, the Institute functions as a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering academic excellence and promoting informed public dialogue.
Our mission is to bridge academia and society through rigorous research, expert analysis, and specialized training programs. We work alongside a network of universities, research labs, public institutions, and civil society organizations to deliver impactful studies, fieldwork, and opinion polls that address key social and economic issues.
At the Social and Media Studies Institute, we believe in the transformative power of knowledge. Through our peer-reviewed journals, including Droit et Société, Revue Économie et Société, and Insaniyat, as well as our publishing arm, African Academic Press, we support researchers, academics, and practitioners in their pursuit of innovation and excellence.
Join us in shaping the future of social and media studies and in contributing to the development of informed, just, and progressive societies across Africa and beyond.
