The Research Center, which has been operating since 2020 as an affiliate of ISAR within the Abdullah Tivnikli Foundation, aims to make relevant and high-level contributions to the academic and intellectual life in Turkey and worldwide. It does this by keeping pace with the changing and transforming knowledge production in recent years and by closely following current scholarly debates. Therefore, it is among the priorities of the Research Center to utilize ISAR’s more than ten years of education and research activities and the human resources it has so far trained.
