The European integration that been has been progressing for more than half-a-century, has grown into a sui-generis phenomenon. As a part of Europe, Turkey not only observed these developments, but also strove to take part within this process as a part of this integration. It is vitally important to scrutinize such a significant process.  

Monitoring such a dynamic formation process proves to be important for both the world and Turkey. Our Institute that was established in 1987 to meet the need for qualified personnel after the full-membership application of Turkey to the European Economic Community, and to closely monitor the European integration has been striving for more than 40 years to achieve these objectives.

Besides educating and training EU specialists via the postgraduate it offers in the fields of EU law, EU economics and EU politics, our Institute tries to raise public awareness of EU-related subjects by organizing conferences, seminars and panel discussions. 

As one of the pioneers of the field of EU studies in Turkey, the European Studies Institute will continue to accurately and neutrally analyze the European Integration process

Regardless of the state of affairs in Turkey's EU accession process, the Institute of European Studies will cıntinue to accurately and neutrally analyze the European Integration process and to assume its role in providing specialists in the EU-related areas.
