As part of the “Chat Sessions at Homes” launched by TAÇ Foundation in order to raise support for its renovation and restoration work as an effort to revive an intellectual tradition from half a century before, sessions were held where historians, musicians, literati, art historians, and archaeologists gathered. Figures such as Raffi Portakal, İzzet Günay, Selim İleri, Halit Refiğ, İlber Ortaylı, Nedim Gürsel, and Emre Aracı were hosted at the meetings held under a variety of topics.
