Columbia Global Center Istanbul serves as a vital link between Columbia University and Türkiye, fostering collaboration and intellectual exchange across a wide range of fields. As part of Columbia Global, the Center is committed to advancing impactful research and academic initiatives that address the pressing challenges of the region. By bringing together scholars, students, and experts, the Center not only enriches Türkiye’s academic landscape but also deepens Columbia’s engagement with the region.
A core priority of the Istanbul Center is to support research and projects that resonate with the local and regional context, particularly in key areas such as politics, economics, cultural heritage, and social development. The Center actively contributes to capacity building and outreach efforts, striving to make a meaningful difference in the communities it serves. Additionally, the Center plays a crucial role in engaging Columbia students with global issues, enhancing Turkish studies on campus, and fostering a deeper understanding of the Middle East, Balkans, Black Sea, Caucasus, and Eastern Mediterranean regions. Through these initiatives, Columbia Global Center Istanbul continues to extend Columbia’s reach, turning insight into impact on a global scale.
