German Studies Unit
Established in 2008 as a part of the European Institute’s various research units and in collaboration with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the German Studies Unit compliments the existing collaboration with the European University of Viadrina in Frankfurt-Oder, Germany. The GSU is built around the idea of fostering Turkish-German relations within the context of the EU by promoting cultural interactions as well as exchange of knowledge and ideas. The key objective is to address recent social, political and cultural debates in German society and bring together researchers, students, policy-makers, stakeholders and the general public to discuss current trends and challenges in both countries and in Turkish-German relations.
In addition to continuing the well-established initiative Germany Brief, that gives an update about recent debates in German society, the GSU expands its activities and offers a platform for an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge, expertise and experience also beyond academia. The GSUs activities include:
- Articles and op-ed articles in English, Turkish and German
- Outreach activities in form of conferences, workshops and events
- German Studies Seminar Series
- Yearly German Studies Colloquium for graduate students
- Yearly Study Visits for a group of students to Germany
- Information events on study and research scholarships in Germany
