Academic literacy education organized by IGU faculty member Dr. Esat Daşdemir titled "Academic Reading, Research, Writing and Publishing Education for Associate and Undergraduate Students" attracted great attention. Hundreds of people applied from 90 different universities that met the criteria for participation in education. During the 20-day announcement and application process, the web page of the project, Akademiloji.com, received more than 2500 unique visitors.
The coordinator of the project supported by TUBITAK Asst. Prof. Esat Daşdemir evaluated the interest in the project with the following words:
“Although it is proud to reach these numbers with a promotional process that is very narrow and we do not transfer financial resources, this is an output of the Turkish young people's passion for research and learning rather than our promotional activities. We have seen these demands of our young people and we will continue our education without interruption in this context. In this context, we successfully carried out our first training between 5-8 November 2024. "
It will be held regularly every year!
