The KurdWatch is closely associated with the European Center for Kurdish Studies, the content managers of KurdWatch were Eva Savelsberg and Siamend Hajo who are also members of the board of the European Center for Kurdish Studies.
The group reported on daily political events, such as arrests or trials, and research background information, for example on the structure of Kurdish political parties in Syria, and the daily life in the Kurdish settled areas of Syria. The group has interviewed the Kurdish Democratic Union Party leader Saleh Muslim. However, the group was known for being critical of PYD over human rights violations.
