History
In 2019, with the establishment of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey Marmara Research Center Polar Research Institute (TÜBİTAK MAM KARE), a scientific organization structure that will serve as an institutional roof in the field of polar sciences in our country was implemented. Every year, the "National Polar Sciences Symposium", where scientific projects and studies carried out by Turkish scientists in the polar area, the results of scientific expeditions are evaluated and developments are discussed, and the "Polar Festival", where polar science studies are brought together with young people with the dimension of education and awareness.
