GRF Young Academics Program 2021 Term First Stage Meeting

GRF Young Academics Program
2021 Term First Stage Meeting
November, 2021

 

GRF’s Young Academics Program brings together young academics who are currently pursuing or have recently completed their doctoral studies. The goal of this program is to provide a forum for accomplished young academics to discuss and define long-term policy challenges.

The program aims to culminate in the preparation of a paper authored by the young academic. The paper is then published as part of the “Policy Paper Series” or the “Analysis Paper Series”. While both series are concerned with thorougly analyzing a topic of interest, the former additionally proposes policy recommendations.

The first stage meeting of the GRF Young Academics Program’s 2021 Term was held on November 19-21 in Istanbul.

During the meeting, the participants presented a rough outline of their papers and received constructive feedback from their fellow participants. The participants will be provided a period of three months to incorporate these recommendations into their first drafts. The submission of these initial drafts will be followed by the second stage meetings. At this phase, GRF will convene a different evaluation commission for each participant, tailored specifically for his/her research interests.
