The ICON•S Türkiye Chapter is a national academic platform committed to advancing the core values of constitutional democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and inclusive democratic deliberation.
TÜRKİYE
ABOUT
It brings together scholars and professionals who work in or on the region, particularly Türkiye, and contributes to regional and global discussions in public law. While operating autonomously, the Chapter aligns with the mission and principles of ICON•S. It promotes interdisciplinary collaboration in public law, the social sciences, and the humanities; equality, diversity, and inclusion in scholarly representation and participation; and cooperation with domestic and regional organizations committed to the values of constitutional democracy, while remaining distinct from them. It is committed to transparency, accountability, gender equality, and academic integrity, and operates through democratic and participatory governance.
Activities
The Chapter supports early-career scholars through seminars, workshops, and mentorship programs, and takes part in the activities of ICON•S at the regional and global levels.
