PLURIEX will host a series of annual Policy Expertise Seminars that bring together the often-unseen technical experts who shape EU–Turkey cooperation. These seminars connect students and scholars with policymakers and bureaucratic professionals working on regulatory alignment, sectoral integration, digital governance, and other key EU policy areas.
By opening direct channels of dialogue between academia and policy practice, PLURIEX ensures that students engage with real-world EU implementation and gain insights into emerging career pathways in EU affairs.
Unlocking Hidden EU Knowledge
The PLURIEX Policy Expertise Seminars aim to reveal the technical and operational knowledge that underpins EU–Turkey relations—knowledge that is essential for understanding how cooperation functions in practice yet remains largely absent from public and academic debate. These seminars will highlight the contributions of bureaucratic experts and policymakers who work daily on issues such as regulatory alignment, trade, digital transformation, environmental standards, and sectoral cooperation with the EU.
Organised regularly throughout the year, the seminars will serve as an interactive platform where students, scholars, and practitioners can engage directly with professionals working at the heart of EU-related policy processes. By moving beyond abstract political discussions, the seminars provide hands-on insights into how EU rules are implemented, negotiated, and adapted within Turkey’s institutional landscape.
PLURIEX will also leverage its international links to build stronger bridges between Turkey and European policy communities, including Brussels-based institutions and think tanks. Through these transnational connections, participants will gain exposure to diverse policy perspectives and expand their professional networks within the broader field of EU affairs.
By integrating practitioner knowledge into the academic environment, PLURIEX equips its students and affiliates with the expertise, awareness, and opportunities necessary to navigate and shape the future of EU–Turkey relations. Those interested in contributing to or engaging with the Policy Expertise Seminars are encouraged to contact us.
