Moving forward: The impact of the digital revolution on societies
A year and a half into the pandemic – what has changed? What’s up next?
The second part of this conference takes up the main question on the changes and new challenges that have arisen due to the pandemic on national and international level. Questions on the developments within research, the data collected based on new approaches and the recent findings will be addressed.
Partners and goals
The Turkish-German Frontiers of Social Science Symposia (TUGFOSS) are a joint undertaking of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the Koç University. The program is financed by Stiftung Mercator and Koç University.
This symposium series brings together approx. 50 outstanding young researchers of various disciplines from Turkey and Germany. They exchange ideas across disciplinary boundaries and take the opportunity to work on future Turkish-German collaborations. The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation supports such collaborative work with its special follow-up program "CONNECT".
The format is modeled after further bi- and tri-national Frontiers of Research Symposia the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation regularly conducts with Brazil, China, India, Israel, Japan, United Kingdom and the USA in the natural sciences, engineering and humanities.
Participation is by invitation only.
