While Boğaziçi scientists exchanged ideas with ASELSAN experts, new research and development collaborations that could be established were also discussed. In the sessions of the workshop on April 15, presentations were made on projects in the fields of satellite-space, particle physics, communication and information technologies. At the workshop, which ended on April 16, scientists introduced studies on cancer diagnosis and treatment, advanced imaging technologies, biomaterials and supercapacitors at Boğaziçi University.

"We are ready to give all the support we can"

Making the opening speech of the workshop, Rector of Boğaziçi University Prof. Dr. Melih Bulu, which is one of Turkey's most powerful domestic brand of ASELSAN's Bosphorus University has stressed the importance of coming together.

“I think the cooperation between ASELSAN and Boğaziçi University is very important. Our Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Our Rectorate, including Gürkan Selçuk Kumbaroğlu, aspires to support ASELSAN and support ASELSAN in solving the problems of ASELSAN, which is competing with the world. The workshop organized is a concrete indicator of this step. I think that determining a representative from ASELSAN Academy and Boğaziçi University after the meetings and following the process at the top level will make it easier to get certain results. In the following stages, we would like to bring together ASELSAN's technical team and our professors at the Bosphorus. Thus, we can make these two distinguished institutions come closer in terms of cooperation. I hope all our work with ASELSAN Academy will yield the best results. "

"We expect cooperation to create added value"

ASELSAN Chairman of the Board and General Manager Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün expressed his excitement for the planned collaborations with Boğaziçi University, which is among the distinguished higher education institutions with 150 years of research performance. Adding that Boğaziçi graduates have achieved important works in different units of ASELSAN, Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün continued his speech as follows:

“We are aware that Boğaziçi University has carried out important research in many fields. End zamWe follow the remarkable studies in the field of biomedicine and particle physics carried out in the Bosphorus. We consider it important that Boğaziçi is a part of the 'NeurotechEU' European University. We are aware of their contribution to CERN studies and we hope that their success in this field will increase. We expect ASELSAN, which brings different dimensions to university-industry cooperation, to create added value in the Bosphorus as well. ASELSAN; It is an institution that has succeeded in establishing cooperation with our faculty members at universities on research issues from within, and combining the pioneering studies of academics with the sector. As ASELSAN, our R&D budget is 541 million dollars. In such workshops, we strive to have ASELSAN professionals meet one-on-one with university academics. Thus, we mutually try to bring the prominent technologies in the world to our country.”

"The cooperation between Boğaziçi University and ASELSAN will continue."

In the workshop, which was followed by nearly 150 participants from different fields of expertise, many important topics were discussed under the umbrella of Technology, from Space Technologies to Communication and Information Technologies, from Radar Systems to Transportation, Security, Energy, Health and Automation. Boğaziçi University Vice Rector Prof. Dr. While Gürkan Kumbaroğlu stated that they were excited and happy to work closely with ASELSAN, ASELSAN R&D Cooperation Manager Hacer Selamoğlu said, “Our cooperation is not limited to this workshop, this is just the beginning. I believe that the research richness of Boğaziçi University will make a great contribution to the needs of ASELSAN ”. Boğaziçi University Technology Transfer Office General Manager Sevim Tekeli emphasized that the workshop was very productive on behalf of Boğaziçi University and that they will follow the projects for new collaborations.
