We are pleased to announce our 3rd international annual event on
European affairs. You are cordially invited to join the 3rd
European Weekend School on 19th – 22nd of May 2005, located in
Istanbul, one of the most beautiful cities of Europe. It will be an
opportunity for the international youth to exchange ideas and
develop a common vision for the future of Europe. Main topic of
“3rd European Weekend School” is the challenging issue of “Turkey’s
Future in Europe: Forthcoming Negotiations”.

During the program, participants are going to attend lectures given
by prestigious experts on the issue and have a chance to
participate in workshops which aim to debate key issues about
European Union’s Enlargement Process particularly for Turkey using
an interdisciplinary approach. Turkish Prime Minister Mr. Recep
Tayyip Erdogan and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Abdullah Gul
have been invited to make a speech at the opening conference. All
participants will receive a certificate of participation at the end
of the program.

Willing participants are welcomed to submit papers for the project.
There will be an opportunity for the presentation of these papers
during the workshops. The submitted papers will be evaluated by the
academic committee of the organization team and selected papers
will be presented during the project. To allow the committee
enough time for the selection process, participants should send
their papers to the contact address until May 1, 2005.

The possible topics will be discussed in lectures and workshop
sessions during the event:

* History of the EU – Turkey Relations
