The first 2026 meeting of the “Meeting of Successful Academics with the Rector” event, which has been held for a year to honor researchers’ high-quality academic outputs, took place at the new Rectorate building.

In January, our department’s faculty members Prof. Dr. Nagihan Oğuz Duran, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatih Camadan, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hacer Belen were recognized by the Rectorate for their Q1 publications.

The international, high-quality scientific publications of our faculty contribute significantly to the literature and enhance the academic visibility of both our department and university.

We congratulate our faculty members on this valuable achievement and wish them continued productivity and success.
