The Istanbul Aydın University Center for Social Research and Application was established in 2013 within Istanbul Aydın University. The center's objective is to research and examine the cultural structure of the society in which it is located based on scientific data, to identify the interaction between various cultures throughout history, to monitor the roles of factors such as belief, language, religion, and race in this formation, and to conduct academic studies and research to reveal the effects of contemporary philosophical-intellectual, ideological/political, scientific, historical, technological, and similar social trends in the contemporary world on our society's culture, to disseminate the resulting products to society through scientific and cultural events such as seminars, symposiums, and conferences in the university environment, and thus to ensure that the resulting free thought and knowledge accumulation are disseminated in the broadest sense along with universal values.
