European Union Information Centre

The Bilkent University European Union Information Centre opened in 2001 with the status of a “full EUIC” and serves as a depository library for European Commission publications. The collection includes legislative documents, scientific and technical publications, statistics, reports, studies and brochures.

Bilkent’s objective as an EDC is to help the university promote and consolidate teaching and research in the field of European integration, and to make information on the European Union and its policies available to the public. With Turkey’s candidacy in the EU, the Bilkent EDC will be an important center for the dissemination of information on the EU, thus raising public awareness in Turkey about the EU and Turkish-European Union relations.
