Cross-Sectoral Dialogue

CROSS-SECTORAL DIALOGUE

DESIGNHUB-IST 

Located inside the grounds of Kadir Has University, the DESIGNHUB-IST Design, Education, and Application Centre is an active organization committed to developing projects, services, and applications that bring significant value to Istanbul's design scene.

In keeping with our primary goal of elevating the status of creative industries in the country's design sector, the DESIGNHUB-IST operates as a physical hub as well as a digital platform, providing a range of services to businesses engaged in design-related activities, particularly those developing into design hubs, mostly in Istanbul. Working in the more general field of interior design, our main goal is to support the development of high-end designs in areas like lighting, acoustics, and evidence-based/user-oriented design.

By means of our center, which serves as a platform for cooperative design research between academic institutions, government agencies, and the commercial sector, we aim to promote practical projects and knowledge sharing, promoting multidisciplinary service models. By working together, we hope to improve the nation's service delivery system and quality of life while meeting a range of needs.

DIVERSITY, INCLUSION and EQUALITY

The reports emanating from the Gender and Women's Studies Research Center, specifically concerning the provision of Abortion Services at Private Hospitals in Turkey, represent noteworthy exemplars of cross-sectoral dialogue aimed at advancing the cause of gender equality.

The Women's Studies Research Center also extends its expertise by offering gender equality consultancy services to significant companies within the private sector.
