The Summer Research and Education Support Program (YADEP) is a training support initiative conducted under İSAM’s Researcher Development Project (AYP), designed to provide research opportunities, enhance academic development through educational seminars, and introduce participants to the academic environment surrounding ISAM.

This year, ISAM held the seventh YADEP from July 23 to August 9, 2024. After an intensive three-week program, YADEP concluded on Friday, August 9, 2024, with a closing lecture by ISAM Deputy Director Assoc. Prof. Yaşar Çolak, followed by a certificate ceremony at the ISAM Conference Hall. The program hosted 52 postgraduate researchers from various Theology and Islamic Studies faculties across Turkey, providing them with two additional weeks to continue their studies at the ISAM Library.

Since its inception in 2016, YADEP has awarded certificates to over 330 postgraduate researchers in its seven iterations.
