About Us
What is Turkeyen/Tain Talks?
Turkeyen Talks/Tain Talks are intended to be bi-monthly thought fora with the following three aims; to:
-
Facilitate informed and respectful discourse on matters of public interest that have significant national, regional or international implications;
-
Enable the university to serve as a public intellectual broker, allowing the academic, civic, business, diplomatic, and other communities to listen to and learn from each other;
-
Offer meaningful evidence-based and policy-relevant engagement between UG students, lecturers, researchers, and alumni, on the one hand, and the public and private sectors and the international community, on the other.
