Cooperating to bridge Turkey and the world

All in all İstanbul Avrupa Araştırmaları Derneği (IAAD) aims at fostering a European sense of belonging and bridging Turkey and the world, contributing to open opportunities for a constructive collaboration, exchange of knowledge and to foster synergies whilst enhancing institutional and individual competencies.

We aim at fostering European cooperation by designing, developing and multiplying projects and good practices through a unique platform of interaction, and a substantial use of tools and mechanisms taking stock from the EU Digital Agenda.

Our team ambitions to contribute to collectively unlock organisations' potential and capabilities to address European agendas, policies and recommendations.

We take stock from the EU 2020 strategy though we also are very reflective of changing times and developing a critical thinking approach to develop further our activities.

On this matter we organise an in-deep and integrated consultation within the consortia we are building for each activity, aiming at generating an enhanced European added-value, a EU transnational dimension and at promoting the exploitation or building upon EU initiatives and projects outcomes, among them: H2020, COST, EEA and ERASMUS+.

Amidst a variety of challenges and operational objectives, these structured initiatives co-finances projects aimed at improving the capacity of individuals and institutions in the European Union and neighbouring countries, as well as eligible third countries.

IAAD have a strategic interest in developing projects and partnerships with Europe and its neighbouring countries, and Latin America.
