WELS Adana on Competition and Corporate Law
This year from February 1 to February 8, 2026, we invite you to Adana, the jewel of Turkey's Mediterranean Region. As one of the country's largest and most dynamic cities, it is known for its rich history, vibrant social life, and world-famous cuisine - especially the iconic Adana Kebab - offering an inspiring setting for both academic growth and cultural exploration. Our Academic Programme offers a rigorous and transformative educational experience, masterfully blending theoretical depth with practical, real-world application. Designed for aspiring leaders, it cultivates the critical thinking and innovative skills essential for excellence in a dynamic global landscape.
Beyond academia, WELS Adana offers a dynamic Social Programme featuring exclusive cultural and leisure activities. Participants will explore the city’s landmarks, including the iconic Taşköprü (one of the oldest bridges still in use which built by the Romans), the historic Bebekli Church, and the famous Büyük Saat (Great Clock Tower). They will also enjoy a hands-on Kebab Workshop, a National Drinks Night, and a Traditional Turkish Night, immersing themselves in the flavours and traditions of the region.
But that’s not all - our social events are designed to create lifelong memories.
The highlight of the week? A prestigious Gala Ball in one of Adana’s most elegant venues, celebrating the achievements and friendships forged during the program.
With comfortable accommodation and seamless transportation arrangements, we ensure that your only focus is to learn, explore, and enjoy.
Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this extraordinary WELS experience!
Apply now and join us in Adana for a week of knowledge, culture, and unforgettable moments!
