The FEUTURE’s research aims to:
- Map the dynamics of EU-Turkey relations as to underlying narratives and thematic drivers;
- Substantiate most likely future scenario(s) and assess its implications;
- Draw policy recommendations;
- Feuture provides excellence and pursues an ambitious, inspiring and innovative programme in a three-phased structure of elaboration, exploration and extrapolation. It applies an inter-temporal, interdisciplinary and international approach by analysing drivers within six thematic dimensions (politics, security, economics, energy, migration, identity) and across four levels of analysis (EU, Turkey, neighbourhood, global).

Research design:
Phase 1: Elaboration - Critically assessing the past via narrative analysis & delineation of forward-looking ideal type scenarios.
Phase 2: Exploration - mapping dynamics by identifying and analyzing the drivers of EU-Turkey relations in six thematic dimensions and substantiation of the most likely scenarios.
Phase 3: Testing scenarios by understanding their implications for the EU, the neighbourhood and the global scene & drawing evidence-based policy recommendations.
