Prof. Dr. Turgut Uzel, a faculty member of the Department of Civil Engineering at our Faculty of Engineering, has been granted a patent for his work titled “A Method for Calculating Plate Movements in Regions Surrounded by Faults” with application number 2023/001154.

This method, which will contribute to more accurate calculations of plate movements in earthquake-prone regions, is considered a significant innovation in the field of engineering.

Prof. Dr. Burcu Yavuz Tiftikçigil, Vice Rector of Istanbul Kültür University and IKU SÜRKAM Coordinator, has represented Türkiye as a Researcher/Author in the Global Food Systems and Sustainable Development Report.

The project, which will be carried out in three stages over a period of three years, is led by the Shiology Research Center of Renmin University of China and the World Shiology Forum.

On June 18, 2025, the Physical and Natural Sciences Advanced Research Center (IKU-SPECTRA), established at Istanbul Kültür University, held its first stakeholders meeting, following the planned activities of the European Union Horizon Europe Spectroscopy@IKU ERA-Chair Project.
