Istanbul Technical University

Founded in 2025, 180 Degrees Consulting ITU is the newest branch of the world’s largest volunteer consultancy in Turkey. Our branch brings the global 180DC mission to Istanbul Technical University, one of the nation's most prestigious and long-standing engineering institutions with its 250 year history. By combining this analytical excellence with an innovative mindset, we connect ITU’s analytically skilled and socially conscious students with opportunities to create real social impact. Located in the heart of Istanbul, a global hub connecting diverse cultures and industries, our branch serves as a bridge between academic excellence and high-stakes social challenges. We aim to launch innovative projects that go beyond traditional consulting, fostering a culture of continuous learning and value creation. By tackling complex issues in Disaster Resilience & Recovery, Children’s Well-Being & Education, and Climate Change & Sustainability, we provide our members with a unique platform to test their limits and grow. Our mission is to provide data-driven consulting services that help purpose-driven organizations scale their impact. More than just a consultancy, we are a vibrant community dedicated to raising the next generation of leaders. We invite both students and partners to join us in this journey of professional development and social responsibility, as we work together to shape a more resilient and sustainable future for Istanbul and beyond.
