The Turkey Programme of the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) joined forces with Medyascope, one of Turkey’s leading free and independent electronic media organizations, to foster a pluralistic dialogue on key issues of Turkish domestic and foreign policy.     

The ELIMED project consisted of seven 75-minute webinars in the format of roundtable discussions and seven policy papers summarizing their key points. Organized by members of ELIAMEP’s Turkey Programme in collaboration with Medyascope, the ELIMED webinars and papers aimed to foster a more informed and sophisticated debate in seven important areas. Topics under discussion ranged from the future of Turkish governance and media to the role of women in Turkey’s public life to Turkey’s evolving policy towards Asia and Eurasia.

The interdisciplinary, innovative and policy-relevant approach aspired to open new channels of collaboration among participants. The webinars and resulted papers were disseminated through the extensive network of ELIAMEP and Medyascope. The combined distribution targeted a European and global audience interested in Turkey as well as Turkey’s most dynamic population groups: its youth, early-career academics and young professionals. An interdisciplinary project, ELIMED drawn on theoretical frameworks from various fields, including political science, economics, public management and sociology. The project geared not only towards an academic audience but also towards NGOs active in Turkey, law enforcement personnel in European countries, journalists, civil servants and other practitioners of law, education and business.
