Vice Rector and Dean of Research Prof. Dr. Kaan Orhan shared the university’s research vision and collaboration strategies in his presentation at the ARDEK Sessions. At the workshop, to which research deans from different universities contributed, funding mechanisms, research support processes, and joint project opportunities were discussed. In sessions that included representatives of institutions such as TÜBİTAK, TÜSEB, the Turkish National Agency, and the General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policies, as well as private-sector actors such as Kale Group and Doğanlar Holding, new models and support instruments that will strengthen university-industry collaboration were discussed.
