Serim Dinç

Serim Dinç graduated from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University (MSFAU) Department of Urban and Regional Planning in 2012. She completed the Urban Planning MSc (Universidad de Politécnica de Madrid) and the Urban Design MSc (MSFAU). She has been part of many urban and rural spatial research and cross-scale projects since the first year of her education. During her time in Madrid, she worked at the Ezquiaga Arquitectura Sociedad y Territorio SL planning office, where she worked on different projects at urban and regional scales (2014-2016). The academic and real-life experiences she continues with the MSFAU -TARGE since 2021- project team are the most important achievements of Dinç's professional life. Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Urban Planning PhD Program, which she started in 2019, became the determinant of her future expertise: Spatial planning and food systems relationship, ecosystem services and agroecological urbanism. Coventry University Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience (UK), which she came to as a visiting researcher in November 2022, has enabled her to deepen in her research and brought new perspectives in her academic life and vision. Dinç is a research assistant in ITU, and is a co-founder of Design Guides Association.
