Sakarya University (SAU) actively engaged in policy-oriented research activities in collaboration with a key national governmental body, the Turkish Human Rights and Equality Institution (TİHEK), during the 2024 reporting period. Concrete evidence of this engagement includes the "Workshop on Human Rights Violations and War Crimes Committed by Israel in Palestine in the Context of International Law and Humanitarian Law," which was held on May 18, 2024, in collaboration with TİHEK and other academic partners. By organizing and hosting a high-level study focused on complex international legal and humanitarian policy matters alongside a national institution, the university actively participated in producing and discussing evidence and analysis directly relevant to the government's policy focus areas, fulfilling the commitment to policy-oriented research in cooperation with state offices.
