Since 2002, the Strategic Research and Application Center (DEUSAM) has been working within the structure of Dokuz Eylül University. Like other think tanks in Turkey, DEUSAM publishes and disseminates information and analyses in its field and provides this information to relevant institutions and organizations when necessary. For years, the Center has been organizing conferences and panels on strategy, national and international security and diplomacy, publishing publications in this field and creating an academic discussion environment.
