Academic Expert Panels

PLURIEX will host two high-level Academic Expert Panels each year, bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives on the EU and its evolving relationship with Turkey. These panels provide a platform for dialogue between scholars, policymakers, and EU practitioners, reflecting PLURIEX’s commitment to epistemic pluriversality and inclusive knowledge production.

Panels will be organized at major national and international conferences as well as at Bahçeşehir University. Researchers who wish to contribute to or collaborate with PLURIEX Expert Panels are warmly invited to get in touch.

Expanding the Boundaries of EU Studies

As part of its mission to broaden and diversify EU studies, PLURIEX will organize two Academic Expert Panels each year at leading national and international academic platforms, as well as at Bahçeşehir University. These panels will bring together scholars, policymakers, EU practitioners, and experts from multiple disciplines—ranging from political science and law to economics, sociology, digital governance, engineering, and environmental studies.

Rooted in PLURIEX’s commitment to epistemic pluriversality, the panels aim to challenge Eurocentric and single-discipline narratives by integrating perspectives from non-Western, post-Western, and constructivist traditions in International Relations and European Studies. Through these discussions, the panels will foster a more inclusive, critical, and globally relevant understanding of EU policymaking and EU–Turkey relations.

Each year, at least one panel will be held at a major international conference (such as ECPR, IPSA, CES, or EUSA), and one at a national academic forum in Turkey. These events will also serve as networking spaces, enabling collaboration with other Jean Monnet Modules, Chairs, and Centres of Excellence, and strengthening long-term academic and policy partnerships.

PLURIEX welcomes scholars and practitioners who wish to participate, contribute ideas, or collaborate in future Academic Expert Panels. Those interested are encouraged to contact us to explore engagement and co-creation opportunities.
