School of Schools - Asia

  • “Asia Anew”
Since 2004, TASAM, which is the first think tank that initiated Asian studies with a holistic approach in Turkey, and its institutes in its network, mobilized a large number of bilateral and multilateral international instruments driven by a coherent and comprehensive vision, within an environment that gradually became more favorable for research than ever before. All instruments are orchestrated as a supplementary contribution to the capacity building efforts in a framework of different categories, such as bilateral and trilateral political communication mechanisms, country-based or region-based strategic dialogue programs, economy-oriented studies or research projects, International Turkish-Asian Congresses, among others, as well as specific activities such as forums, meetings, programs, projects, visits, reports, publications, and academic studies.

It is highly anticipated that the School of Schools-Asia, which was intended to provide strategic contributions to the Asia Anew Initiative with its available network and capacity, will take its place in this historical task with multiple instruments.
