Rector Çomaklı emphasised the importance of scientific, artistic and social studies carried out by faculty members in the national and international arena and stated that the contribution of these studies to the development and recognition of the university and our country is also worth appreciating.

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. In our university, which provides first degree education services to 14 neighbouring cities, I believe that the projects, publications and all other studies that our academic staff working in all units of our vocational colleges, which carry out important studies in the districts, have put forward and will put forward in terms of quality and quantity will continue our success.’
