Since 1948, the BIAA has conducted and facilitated world-class research on Türkiye and the Black Sea region. Our programme of events for this special year reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting and sharing cutting-edge work across the humanities and social sciences. Special anniversary events include the launch of the BIAA Digital Repository, a special tour of the Pisidia Heritage Trail using the recently published guidebook, a closing conference for the Water in Istanbul: Rising to the Challenge project, an expert panel reflecting on the coming Turkish elections, a conference on the past, present and future of the Konya plain, and many more.

We hope to welcome many of you to these events, which will mostly take place online as well as in-person. For up-to-date information, please join the BIAA Mailing List or follow our social media accounts: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.
These upcoming events as well as the work of the Institute over the past 75 years has only been possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters and members. Please consider joining the Institute as a member in this our 75th year.
