About
Public diplomacy is not a new concept in terms of its content. Throughout history, human beings, organised first as small groups, then as tribes, ethnic groups and finally as nations and nation-states, have been practising what we today call public diplomacy in order to gain influence over their interlocutors, whether they are known as enemies or friends, in line with their own interests. The main aim here is to disseminate information and develop mutual good relations by entering into dialogue with the interlocutors. Public diplomacy should not be confused with disinformation aimed at misleading.In the light of these views, KADAM was established on 4 October 2021 with the publication of its Regulation in the Official Gazette and started its activities with the opening panel held on 21 December 2021.


Mission
KADAM's mission is to provide a theoretical infrastructure of public diplomacy with an interdisciplinary understanding and to develop a Turkey-focused public diplomacy concept, and to operate in the field of practice through projects as well as academic studies for this purpose.

Vision
In accordance with its founding philosophy, KADAM aims to investigate the theoretical infrastructure of the field of Public Diplomacy within the field of international relations and its connection with other disciplines, to determine the theoretical formation in particular by starting from the general and to determine the characteristics of the activity architecture to be built on this infrastructure. In the final analysis, KADAM aims to contribute to the creation of a national public diplomacy concept by taking into account Turkey's unique conditions. Within this framework, appropriate strategic cooperation with relevant institutions and organisations in the international arena is envisaged.

The Center for Belt and Road Studies (CBRS) is an international research center based at İstinye University (ISU), İstanbul. It engages academics from ISU and other universities as well as prominent practitioners and policy makers across the world. More than 2000 years ago, the ancient Silk Road was the engine of international trade and prosperity. Introduced in 2013, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) constitutes an international cooperation mechanism that seeks to re-implement the concept of the Silk Road under the new conditions of globalization. This China-led initiative consists of infrastructure, resource, and investment development networks intended to be active over 152 countries across Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas. The initiative prioritizes five main areas: intergovernmental policy cooperation and consensus-building, infrastructure and technological connectivity, trade connectivity, financial integration, and people-to-people exchanges for cultural cooperation. As such, it develops a comprehensive approach that also incorporates rail and sea transport, and digital systems. This approach is extended to sustainable development, artificial intelligence, quantum computers, and new energy and material technologies. 

Mission
CBRS’ primary mission is to conduct innovative and interdisciplinary scientific research related to issues pertinent to not only the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) itself, but also all countries involved in BRI. Its activities include: international workshops and conferences designed to bring together area researchers to discuss their research, visits by distinguished academics and practitioners, research reports and briefs related to BRI or any country involved in BRI, reading and discussion groups, sponsorship or co-sponsorship for graduate and postdoctoral fellows.


Vision
The Center for Belt and Road Studies (CBRS) envisions a future where international collaboration, facilitated by the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), becomes a catalyst for positive change, fostering connectivity, sustainable development, and cultural exchange. Our vision is anchored in the rich legacy of the ancient Silk Road, and we aim to propel the BRI into a transformative force that transcends borders, building bridges between nations and fostering mutual understanding. ​​​​​​
