Bilkent Energy Policy Research Center

The main objective of the center is to introduce and build the necessary academic infrastructure on issues of Energy Policy and Security that strategically affect Turkey’s economy and foreign policy. The center emphasizes both basic conceptual and applied policy-related aspects of global energy markets and identifies the key agents, institutions and powers involved in processes of sustainable and affordable energy and resource management, as well as Turkey’s strategic policy choices for satisfaction of its growing energy needs in a potentially conflict-ridden global economy.
