“CIGA Seminar Series” are guest lectures that are open to public, thus engaging the student and academic audience from IZU and elsewhere. The quest lecturers are invited either from amongst the IZU faculty, other Turkish universities or abroad to speak about topics which fall under the research areas of CIGA, such as sociological and political issues related to the history of Middle-East, Turkish foreign policy, US domestic and foreign policy, European Union and regional transnational conflicts.
