Getting to Yeditepe University and making the most of Istanbul

Conference Venue

Yeditepe University

Yeditepe University is located in Kayışdağı, Ataşehir — on the Asian side of Istanbul. The campus is modern, well-equipped, and easily accessible from both sides of the city.

The name Yeditepe (Seven Hills) echoes Istanbul's ancient identity as the "city on seven hills" — a fitting home for a conference that brings together communities from across the country.
