The Istanbul Center for Regulation aims at establishing itself as the region’s center in matters of regulation and regulatory policies pertaining both to the traditional and the new network industries, namely telecommunications, postal services, transport, energy, water and the newly emerging digital platforms.

We provide thought leadership for practitioners, i.e., policy-makers, regulators and regulated firms facing rapid changes due to liberalization and digitalization.
We do so by way of highly structured, problem-centered and result-oriented forums involving all the relevant stakeholders, high-level conferences, executive trainings and policy advice.
The Center is operating under the auspices of Istanbul Technical University. It is governed by a board composed of regulators and donor firms. Its academic integrity is assured by way of a scientific advisory board.
