The International Relations Working Group of the Turkish Academy of Sciences (TÜBA), at its meeting on March 12, 2026, examined the war that began following the attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran, the deepening of conflicts in the Middle East, the Gulf, and Lebanon, and the humanitarian crisis in its regional and global dimensions. Following the general situation assessment conducted at the meeting, it was unanimously decided to share the following declaration with the international academic community and the public.

The “Symposium on the Effects of Pesticides on Food Safety and Public Health,” organized by the TÜBA Food and Nutrition Working Group, concluded at Mersin University. During the two-day symposium, the effects of pesticides on food safety, public health, the environment, and agricultural policies were comprehensively evaluated in light of scientific data.

The study titled “From Presence to Power: Women Leading in Science,” featured in the 2026 global report prepared by the Inter-Academy Partnership (IAP), highlights women who shape scientific institutions, advance research, and guide future generations.  TÜBA Full Member Prof. Dr. K. Arzum Erdem Gürsan was included in the study among scientists who have attained leadership positions despite persistent structural barriers.

TÜBA has contributed 8 more significant works to the scientific community as part of its “Turkish-Islamic Scientific and Cultural Heritage (TİBKM) Project.” Launched in 2014 and continued under the patronage of the Presidency since 2018, the project has now published a total of 70 works.

Due to high demand, the application deadline for the 2026 TÜBA-Outstanding Young Scientist Awards (TÜBA-GEBİP) and TÜBA Scientific Copyright Awards (TÜBA-TESEP) programs, administered by TÜBA, has been extended to April 10, 2026.
