During the Young Economic Security Forum 2025, we had the opportunity to visit SETA Foundation (the Foundation for Political, Economic, and Social Research) in Istanbul. As a prominent Turkish think tank, SETA conducts in-depth analyses on a wide array of topics, including politics, economy, society, and foreign policy. Their commitment to producing evidence-based research and fostering informed public discourse was evident throughout our visit.
