Today, the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) announced the list of Research Universities based on the 2024 academic data. Bursa Uludağ University has once again successfully maintained its Research University status. Additionally, we take great pride and joy in being the Research University that achieved the greatest increase in 21 out of the 31 evaluated parameters. This important result is the clearest indication that our University’s scientific production capacity, international collaborations, project performance, publication quality, and overall academic ecosystem are steadily strengthening.

Beyond the role undertaken by our R&D Coordination Office in institutionally supporting research culture, implementing activities that enhance academic motivation, and managing academic data with integrity, the collective effort of our dedicated academics, researchers, and administrative staff is substantial. We will continue to uphold our University’s research mission with determination and contribute to the scientific, technological, and economic future of both Bursa and Türkiye.

We sincerely congratulate and thank—first and foremost—our Rectorate administration, as well as all our academics, researchers, administrative personnel, and every stakeholder who contributed to this significant achievement.
