OIP hosted students from Northeastern University with the 10-day “Dialogue of Civilizations” for a series of seminars with KU professors, a corporate visit to the Arçelik Plant in Gebze, and several extracurricular activities to get to know Koç and Istanbul closely. We hope for this program to be the first of many to build new bridges between civilizations.
