At ADU, we are continuing our investments in research and development without interruption. Our joint efforts with ITU will allow our students to gain national and international experience, and encourage our academic staff to share knowledge and foster innovative perspectives.
Collaborating more strongly on sustainability and environmental topics, and working together on technology and security projects are crucial not only for our academic community but also for our country’s future.
This protocol will build a mutually beneficial relationship between our universities and take scientific advancement in Turkey even further. I hope this cooperation brings great success to both institutions. Together, we will continue to sign off on stronger, more innovative, and more successful projects.”
