Our Current Projects in Turkey

Our aim is to connect the Turkish science community with what’s happening on the UK science scene  and build links with counterparts there. In Turkey we work with TUBITAK, science parks, science centres and universities with a view to supporting Turkish scientific endeavour.

Here are the areas our work covers:

CHALLENGE EUROPE: In 2008 the British Council launched the European element of its global climate programme: Climate Change , a three-year project that aspires to make a definite and lasting impact on the climate change debate, and is ambitious in its aim to accelerate change to a low carbon future. In the summer of 2009 we are starting the second year of the project, with activity in 15 countries across Europe.
DARWIN NOW exhibition is the British Council’s contribution to the international celebration of the 200 year anniversary of Darwin’s birth and the 150 year anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species.
Beautiful Science: It is a new British Council initiative – linking science, education and the arts – which ultimately seeks to inspire young people to consider a career in science and encourage young scientists to communicate with the wider public, in an open, comprehensive, inspired and interactive way.
CAFE SCIENTIFIQUE:Café Scientifique is a global product under the Council’s ‘Understanding Science in Society’ programme area. It aims to encourage a forum atmosphere for debating science issues by promoting public engagement with science and the impact of science on people’s lives, as a driver of social and cultural change.
