I am proud to be part of the STS Turkey platform. This year, I, as Bilgi University, was the host of our annual conference. Thus, I was a bit more stressed than usual. Still, I now happily enjoy the post-conference rest. The conference program can be found here. Unfortunately, the whole program was in Turkish. We have hopes to make it international, but it depends on grants, of course. Our other annual event is the Winter School which takes place in early February. Around 20 grad students are chosen for the free introductory courses.
