British Institute at Ankara (BIAA)

Description

The British Institute at Ankara (BIAA) supports, enables, and encourages research in Türkiye and the Black Sea region in a wide range of fields including archaeology, ancient and modern history, climate and environmental science, heritage management, social sciences, public policy, and political science. It does this in many ways, including providing fieldwork and research grants to British Higher Education Institute-affiliated scholars, hosting academic events and post-doctoral fellowships, maintaining an extensive research library and reference collections, and publishing a range of monograph series and open access publications, as well as an annual peer-reviewed journal.

As one of the British International Research Institutes (BIRI) supported by the British Academy, the BIAA facilitates the work of UK-affiliated academics in Türkiye and promotes collaborations with scholars based in Türkiye and the Black Sea region. It has offices in Ankara and London, and a dedicated staff of experts from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. 

Founded in 1947, the BIAA was incorporated in the 1956 cultural agreement between the Republic of Turkey and the United Kingdom.
