The Role and Attitude of the "Şûrâ-yı Devlet" in Waqf Matters

The TÜBİTAK 3005 Project Workshop titled "The Role and Attitude of the 'Şûrâ-yı Devlet' in Waqf Matters (1868-1909)" was held on May 16-17, 2026, at the İSAR Training Village. In the workshop, the role of the "Şûrâ-yı Devlet"—which held an important position in the post-Tanzimat Ottoman administrative and legal structure—in waqf (pious endowment) matters, its decision-making processes, and its attitude within the context of state-waqf relations were addressed in a multi-faceted manner.

Attended by 55 participants, the workshop featured presentations ranging from Islamic thought where nature is viewed as a "trust" (emanah) and a "sign" (ayah) to the modern concept of "Planetary Health," and from environmental history to ecological movements such as eco-socialism and eco-feminism.
