This workshop represented the concluding phase of a grant on Data Capture of Syria Chemical Weapons Allegations that was awarded to the Harvard Sussex Program (HSP) by the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). As part of the ESRC’s Urgency Grant scheme the project sought to undertake three activities: 1. Gather data related to allegations of chemical warfare in Syria 2. Perform initial analysis of that data; and 3. Develop a strategy for how the ESRC might take forward research in this area. On the first day, the methods and outputs of the project were presented as a stimulus for discussion around the future of interdisciplinary academic research at the intersection of conflict, security and media with a particular focus on Syria and social media. On the second day, attention turned to the implications of chemical warfare for the present and future health of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). The workshop was held under the Chatham House Rule necessitating that the identity of the speakers has been removed from this workshop report.
