GRF Young Professionals Program
2013Term
Inaugural Meeting
The GRF Young Professionals Program, which had its inaugural dinner on May 14th, 2013, aims to provide a platform for young professionals who are equipped with the resolve, background, and experience to contribute to the future of Turkey and the World.
Although it is a very recent GRF initiative, the program’s large pool of motivated and qualified applicants led to a challenging selection process. Strict attention was paid to ensure that the proposed presentation topics would cover diverse areas as well as prove sufficiently insightful to evaluate a global system problem from various perspectives.
20 candidates were selected for the 1st term of the GRF Young Professionals Program. 10 of the accepted candidates were chosen from the list of nominated candidates by GRF’s corporate members, while the other 10 young professionals were selected from the list of personal applicants.
The following list details the selected candidates for GRF Young Professionals Program and their proposed presentation topics.
