The fact that the problems faced by the world have become global and that the solutions to these problems must be global has increased the interest in the concept of civil society and civil society organizations. In particular, civil society organizations, which are put forward as a solution mechanism for global problems such as climate change, food and water crisis, hunger, poverty, gender inequalities, energy supply security, income and education opportunity inequality, biodiversity loss, environmental pollution, wars and human rights violations, have become one of the most important global actors. Thus, civil society organizations have consolidated their place as indispensable elements of both achieving sustainable development goals and environmental, social, economic and governance sustainability. All this reality necessitates social transformation, and at this point, the perspective on the field of civil society, which is the key element of transformation, needs to be addressed at regional, national and global levels. It is important to approach civil society organizations, whose place is indisputable in public administration, policy development and academic studies, from a professional perspective and to identify the needs related to the field. Marmara University Civil Society Organizations Application and Research Center (STKAM) is an institution that is aware of this reality and whose main purpose is to produce information on civil society and civil society organizations in our country and to train qualified human resources that the public, private and civil society sectors will need.
