Bahadır Kaleağası Elected President of the Institut du Bosphore

Dr. Bahadır Kaleağası, one of Turkiye’s most respected European Union experts, was re-elected as President of the Institut du Bosphore in July 2025. As the BDU Family, we congratulate Mr. Kaleağası.


Institut du Bosphore is an independent French association, established in Paris in 2009 under Act 1901, whose main mission is to be one of the driving forces behind the discussions on Turkiye in France, particularly through the organization of major events.

Conceived as a platform for continuous, free and objective dialogue and debate, Institut du Bosphore addresses a range of geopolitical, economic, and sociocultural issues, in order to highlight Turkiye’s involvement in the global community, the G20 and, in particular, its proximity to France and integration into the European Union.
