Objectives

BRIDGE is guided by four measurable objectives:

1. Foster excellence in education and research through five new interdisciplinary EU-focused courses and capacity-building workshops, reaching over 350 participants annually.

2. Advance innovative research on governance and inclusion by establishing The Democracy Lab, producing peer-reviewed articles and policy briefs with actionable recommendations.

3. Strengthen partnerships and stakeholder dialogue via Memoranda of Understanding with European and Turkish institutions, annual policy roundtables, and a youth volunteer network.

4. Promote EU values and civic engagement through digital outreach, public events, podcasts, and the final Future of Democracy Conference.
