While the 2023 Academic Monitoring and Evaluation Meetings within the framework of the New Generation University Design and Transformation Project, chaired by Atatürk University Rector Prof. Dr. Ömer Çomaklı, continued with the participation of unit managers and academicians, Rector Çomaklı received information from the authorities about the academic performances of the units in 2022.

Rector Çomaklı and the management team, who met with the administrators of the Faculty of Fine Arts in the morning and the Faculty of Law in the afternoon at the Blue Hall of the Culture Centre, evaluated the work done as a result of the presentations made by the administrators.

Research University performance indicators, cultural transformation studies, evaluation of academic performance results and TUBITAK competence analysis are organised under 4 titles, while the development and performance of the units are also monitored in the presentations.

Rector Çomaklı stated that the successful and developmental aspects of the units will be determined as a result of the meetings, and said that the feedbacks of the studies carried out were received and necessary arrangements will be made accordingly.

Rector Çomaklı emphasised the importance of the scientific and artistic works of the faculty members in the national and international arena, and stated that their contributions to the development and recognition of the university and our country in the field of science, art and technology are also worthy of appreciation.

Rector Çomaklı: "In addition to the education and research duties of universities, it is foreseen that the new generation universities will be shaped within the framework of their mission of contribution to society, whether it is the third generation university definition that addresses innovation centred on university-society cooperation or the fourth generation university definition that prioritises regional development. Atatürk University, which wears the title of Research University thanks to its New Generation University mission, continued its success graph by placing in the A2 category in the 2021 performance ranking of Research Universities as a result of performance evaluations with indicators. I believe that the projects, publications and all other studies that our academic staff working in all units of our university have put forward and will put forward in terms of quality and quantity will continue our success."
