Congratulations fellowship recipients!
Istanbul Research Institute commits itself to support researchers who could expand the literature in the field of Istanbul studies with novel approaches and un-earthed sources. To this end, we have called for applications in three grant categories: Research and Write-Up Grant for Ph.D. Candidates, Travel Grants, and Conference Grants. We cherish the fact that our calls attracted a great number of hard-working researchers who put effort into proposing their valuable research for the grants we offered. With great delight, we introduce the researchers whose projects we took pride in supporting.
