ABOUT THE PROJECT

The interdisciplinary program Blickwechsel: Contemporary Turkey Studies explored different aspects of current Turkish society, economy, and politics through ten scientific projects. Researchers at German and Turkish universities worked together, and a coordination team at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin supported the cooperation. The research program contributed to a well-informed debate about Turkey while simultaneously strengthening academic exchange and links between the scientific communities and fields of research in both countries.
