Mercator-IPC Alumni Retreat 2023

As the Istanbul Policy Center-Sabancı University-Stiftung Mercator Initiative, we are thrilled to host the Alumni Event of the Mercator-IPC Fellowship Program this year for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic. We believe that the synergies and the exchanges in these alumni events are crucial in keeping this dynamic network alive. In three days, we had a fishbowl discussion session on the second century of Turkey in various aspects, an excursion in the region and a coffee talk session on the cultural heritage of Cappadocia with the participation of Aslı Özbay as our guest speaker. We are looking forward to having new opportunities for more exchange and networking among our fellows.
