We are eager to exchange students and staff, collaborate on research projects, organise joint seminars, conferences as well as virtual activities with your esteemed university. We would be also pleased to see your students in our Delightful Istanbul Summer and Winter short term study programs (for more information: https://delightful.istanbul/ ). We believe that an academic cooperation will enhance the opportunities for our universities in terms of  dissemination of scientific knowledge from different country contexts and internationalization by diversifying the cultural richness of our campuses. Establishing an Institutional Exchange Program agreement or an MOU will yield a rewarding and fruitful experience for both students and academic staff of the two institutions. We hope to establish a vibrant working cooperation with your university.
