Since its founding in 1976, the Office of Regional External Programs (REP) has championed entrepreneurial ideas and initiatives. As the consulting arm of AUB, REP provides technical assistance in a wide range of areas for governments, international organizations, foundations, non-profit associations, businesses, and industry. REP has been a major player supporting AUB’s mission to serve the peoples of the Middle East and beyond by delivering over 500 consulting and training projects in more than 15 countries throughout the Middle East.

REP’s track record has made it a recognized and trusted leader in regional consulting services that competes with leading consulting firms and institutes of higher education from the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Drawing on the resources of the University, REP is able to offer unparalleled technical expertise and professional resources to its clients. AUB consultants include national and international experts who are recognized for their knowledge, innovative research techniques, and insightful analyses. REP’s work has been internationally recognized in the media.

I invite you to browse this website in which you will find a wealth of information about REP initiatives and partnerships that I think you will find interesting – and may even find surprising. You may not know, for example, that REP is currently assisting in the establishment of institutions of higher education, training professional journalists, and educating health professionals. These are only some of the projects that have made REP a trusted name in consulting services for more than 30 years.
