In line with these goals, we have signed joint projects and collaborations with the city since the day we took office. Today, where a rapid development and change process is experienced, our institutional goal is to increase the quality and diversity of our scientific studies and to prepare our youth for the future in the light of science by increasing the quality of our education and training activities by continuing the struggle to create a society equipped with information-based systems. With these feelings and thoughts, I would like to thank all our administrators, bureaucrats, academic and administrative staff and students who have contributed to the development of our University, and congratulate the 14th anniversary of our university."
