ISTANBUL ↔ THE WORLD
An international network with a local home
Visiting researchers, seminar speakers, workshop participants and students form a growing community around Istanbul. Our programs are designed to turn short encounters into long-term scientific relationships.
IN ISTANBUL, IN CONVERSATION
Let’s build the next conversation in fundamental physics.
Meet our community, join a seminar or follow the collaborations growing through ISTRINGY.
