I am very pleased to announce that Professor Nuket Kardam has been selected to represent MIIS at the May 2010 Salzburg Global Seminar on “Whither Europe? Whither Turkey?” While the Selection Committee received several strong applications and was hard-pressed to make its choice, after careful review and multiple conversations, we decided that Professor Kardam’s application was the most compelling.

I want to thank all of the applicants for taking time during such a busy time of the year to write such thoughtful and well-crafted applications. I look forward to Nuket sharing with all of us her experiences upon her return from this seminar in May, as I expect it will be a wonderful professional experience, filled with both learning and networking opportunities.
