GRF Young Academics Program
2015 Term October Group
1st Stage Meeting
October 24-25, 2015
GRF’s Young Academics Program was designed to provide a forum for accomplished young academics to discuss and debate long-term policy challenges. With this program, GRF aims to establish an expanding community of young academics who, in their policy deliberations, focus on global systemic issues and place Turkey in this global framework. The intellectual capital accumulation resulting from this program will hopefully make a valuable contribution to national and global policy-making in the coming decades.
This year, the program was divided into two groups due to the rising number of qualified applications. At the first stage meeting of the October Group held on October 24-25, the participants presented their policy papers’ abstracts to their peers as well as GRF community members and received their feedback.
