How does academia-diplomacy cooperation work best? The Embassy has established a win-win relationship with Ankara University by organising regular events, workshops, events, lectures, seminars and visits together especially with their European Union Research Centre (ATAUM). ATAUM has benefitted from a lecture by the Foreign Minister and presentations by our trainees.

The Negotiation Pioneers program has been a transformative experience for Turkish educators and young leaders. The program is organised by an emerging edtech startup from Finland, Sopu Academy, while Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and the Embassy of Finland in Ankara provided support. The participants gained essential problem-solving skills to create win-win solutions for their everyday lives.
