ARIT is excited to work with the new institutions and grateful for their generosity and commitment. 

ARIT is the primary professional organization for American and Canadian researchers and scholars interested in carrying out study and research in and about Turkey, in all fields of the humanities and social sciences, from prehistoric through modern times.  ARIT centers maintain a wide range of scholarly and educational activities in Istanbul, Ankara, and the U.S.

ARIT is a membership organization, composed of the major North American universities and institutes with research interests in Turkey.  By their annual dues and contributions, member institutions provide major support for ARIT operations and programs in Turkey and the U.S.  Through its offices in Istanbul, Ankara, and Philadelphia, ARIT provides support for the work that its member institutions, and individuals affiliated with these institutions, undertake in Turkey.

At present, forty-one universities and research institutions are members of ARIT. Full members pay annual dues of $2500; a single membership may be shared by associations of two or five institutions, apportioning the membership dues proportionally.  

Member institutions appoint delegates who participate in the ARIT annual meeting, and the decision-making, and work of the Institute. Universities and other educational and research institutions that share an interest in research and scholarship related to Turkey are welcome to join ARIT as institutional members.
