Prof. Dr. Mustafa Evren Erşahin, faculty deans, department heads and award-winning faculty members.

The academic performance awards were given as a result of the evaluation of academic studies and publications by Istanbul Technical University academicians. The awards were given in two categories: “2016-2020 Department-Based Academic Performance Evaluations” and “2021 Publication Performance Evaluations” of ITU faculty members.

While 2016-2020 Department-Based Academic Performance Evaluations were made according to six criteria determined by the ITU Senate, including the number of publications, number of citations, number and budget of projects, education (amount of credits given), number of graduated post-graduate students and administrative duties; in the 2021 Publication Performance Evaluations, publications with ITU address published in the SCOPUS database in 2021 were taken into consideration. In this context, certificates were given to 152 faculty members who “published the most on a departmental basis in 2021”.

Rector Koyuncu: “Our priority is to increase our quality by encouraging R&D studies at our university”

Underlining that Istanbul Technical University, which has a well-established infrastructure in Turkey and in the world, has an important position with the scientific activities it has carried out since its establishment and that it always aims to be at the forefront in R&D activities, Prof. Dr. Koyuncu said, “I am pleased to state that you have realized this goal with your studies and that you have carried our university to advanced levels in scientific terms. With the principle ‘Compliment makes better achievement’, we wanted to reward all the academicians who entered the list with a certificate and a nominal grant of 20,000 TL within the scope of the Performance-Based Research Project (PEDAP) support. I would like to thank everyone who received an award today and contributed to the preparation of the ceremony, with the hope that your success in your scientific studies will increase further in the coming years.”

After the speeches of Vice-Rector Prof. Dr. Hacı Ali Mantar and Dean of Research Prof. Dr. Altan Çakır, our Rector Prof. Dr. İsmail Koyuncu presented certificates and plaques to the academicians who were entitled to receive the Academic Performance Award for 2022.
