On March 26, 2026, the academic conference titled “Türkiye in a Changing World” was held for the seventh time. The event was organized by the John Lukacs Institute for Strategy and Politics (JLI) of the Eötvös József Research Center (EJKK) at the Ludovika University of Public Service (LUPS), in cooperation with and with the professional contribution of the Bosphorus Research Group of Pázmány Péter Catholic University. The conference took place at the Sophianum building of Pázmány Péter Catholic University.
The conference focused on current issues in Turkey’s foreign and security policy. With the participation of doctoral students and early-career researchers, the event covered a wide thematic spectrum: presentations examined Turkey’s international presence and network of relations from the Arctic regions through Europe and the Black Sea area to as far as Somalia.
The panels were moderated by Zoltán Egeresi, Gizem Gültekin-Várkonyi, and Tamás Szigetvári, under whose guidance lively and substantive professional discussions emerged. As in previous years, the conference provided an excellent opportunity for young researchers to present their findings and to discuss Turkey’s evolving geopolitical role in an international context.
Once again, the conference contributed to strengthening academic dialogue and supporting the professional development of young researchers.
