Academic Orientation

Organised by our centre, the “Academic Orientation” workshop is designed to facilitate the integration of newly joined researchers into our university, introduce them to the university’s research and project resources, and equip them with teaching skills.

Within the scope of this workshop, it is aimed to provide educational opportunities and equip early-career researchers with academic skills to enable them to transition more easily into academic life, develop a sense of institutional belonging, and explore the research infrastructure.

This academic orientation, the seventh of which we are organizing this semester, will take place at the Beytepe Campus between July 2nd and 3rd, 2025. We look forward to seeing you at the academic orientation program.
