LEF actively participates in research conferences, organizing panel discussions, workshops, and other events that promote scholarship and education at the intersections of art and science. Currently, LEF has close to thirty international representatives in so many countries. Prof. Elif Ayiter is our LEF representative in Turkey. Between 2007-2009 we have developed 15 international LEF forums at international summits, completed an educational strategic summary and are currently working on an international policy paper.
