The Centre for Social Sciences Research and Action, formerly known as Lebanon Support, is a multidisciplinary hub that brings together the scientific, practitioner, and policy spheres. With a focus on fostering social change, the centre utilizes innovative methods in social science, digital technologies, and knowledge sharing. Their mission is achieved through transformative research and engagement in three key areas: multidisciplinary and contextualized research, tools for civil society actors (such as the civil society network Daleel Madani), and education initiatives like the Civil Society Incubator.

The centre produces original and interdisciplinary research in various formats, including peer-reviewed journals, policy briefs, and visuals. Research is conducted by a network of scholars, fellows, and researchers. Committed to open access, the centre ensures that all publications are accessible to the wider public.

By engaging diverse audiences through knowledge-sharing events, seminars, fellowships, and workshops, the centre aims to inform public debate and policy-making. The Centre for Social Sciences Research and Action is registered as a non-profit Limited Liability Company in Cyprus, and their work in Lebanon is carried out by Lebanon Support under an MOA. They are dedicated to making their publications and content available to a wider audience through their Open Access Policy.

The centre was founded in 2006 as Lebanon Support, and over the years, they have launched various initiatives, including Daleel Madani, the Civil Society Knowledge Centre, the Civil Society Review journal, and the Civil Society Incubator. With their expanded scope of work, the centre is now known as the Centre for Social Sciences Research and Action, focusing on social science for change on a regional and global scale
