After a year of tension and turbulence, there are now stated intentions in Brussels and Ankara to provide the EU-Turkey relations with a new impetus. While keeping Turkey’s accession prospect alive is important in the long term, a positive agenda for the relationship is needed in the short term.
With this in mind, GMF has recently conducted two studies as part of its GMF-TOBB Fellowship Program on Turkey, Europe, and global issues. The Delphi study, with the theme “EU-Turkey Relations: In Search for a Positive Agenda,” surveyed a group of experts from Turkey and European countries regarding the feasibility as well as the potential impact of positive agenda items. The public opinion survey conducted in Turkey looked into the perceptions of Turkish citizens on Europeans, the EU, and Turkey-EU relations.
Please join us for this GMF virtual panel where the results of the Delphi Study and the public opinion survey will be discussed.
