Welcome to the website of the Istanbul Integrability and Stringy Topics Initiative at the Department of Physics, Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey. The initiative has a broad research profile in mathematical and theoretical physics with an emphasis on string theory, supersymmetric gauge theory, integrability, etc.

Our initiative is one of the most active research centers in theoretical and mathematical physics in Turkey and one of the top places in Turkey for excellent undergraduate education in theoretical physics. Every year, we invite many international researchers for lectures, seminars, and collaboration with our group members.

Our initiative maintains an extensive network of national and international collaborations with universities and research institutions around the world:

• Mathematics Department, Gebze Technical University, Kocaeli, Turkey
• Department of Theoretical Physics, Steklov Mathematical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia
• Center for Mathematics and its Applications, Khazar University, Baku, Azerbaijan
• Department of Mathematics of Khazar University, Baku, Azerbaijan
• High Energy Physics Laboratory of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Moscow, Russia
