EXPERT TASK FORCE MEETING 1

An expert task force of 14 doctoral/post-doctoral research fellows from Turkish and French Universities will convene twice within the scope of the INTERACT: EU, France, Turkey University Dialogue project. The first of these workshops have taken place at BİLGİ Dolapdere Campus on 30.01.2009.

This network aims to establish links between young academicians researching themes that are within the remit of the action, provide a common space for academic interaction and hence promote socialisation and academic know-how. In this first workshop, fellows have presented their research proposals and draft contents in order to get feedback from each other. The second workshop will take place in Paris, Sciences Po at September. In this meeting, the participants will this time present their finalised researches. Themes of specialisation include EU enlargement, EU governance and territories, EU and civil society, EU-Turkey relations, France in the EU, multiculturalism and EU cultural values.

See below the list of participants and their title of work, and photos taken from the first meeting.
