ISTANBUL EU INFORMATION CENTRE
EU Information Centres Network has been functioning in Turkey since 1996 with the aim of informing audiences in the country about what the EU is and how Turkey and EU are working together. The EU Delegation has developed a comprehensive information network across the country to serve the information needs of local people. The network currently operates in 20 provinces of Turkey providing information about the EU locally and organizing communication activities and cultural events such as conferences, meetings, exhibitions and concerts. This network works closely with schools, non-governmental organisations, SMEs, universities and political decision makers as well as directly with the general public to ensure that people have access to up-to-date and accurate information on all EU-related themes.
A New Role to IKV
IKV which already hosts one of the earliest European Documentation Centres in Turkey is taking part in the “Support to the EU Information Centres Network Project” by taking in charge of Istanbul EU Information Centre Network.
IKV Istanbul EU Information Centre opened a stand in the seminar entitled “Turkey’s Role as a European and Regional Hub? Implications for Euro-Mediterranean Relations” held on 5-6 February 2016 and thus organized its first event in Istanbul.
