HKU Rector Prof. Dr. Türkay Dereli, noting that HKU has drawn attention since its founding with its student-centred approach to education and teaching, its scientific productivity and its application-oriented innovative projects, and that it is a young and dynamic foundation higher education institution, said: “We are extremely pleased with our place in the SCImago ranking, which classifies universities by evaluating their research performance, innovation outputs and societal impact capacity both separately and as a whole. That our university has achieved such a success in the year we celebrate its 15th anniversary is an important indication that it is advancing with confident steps towards its goals. We believe that our potential to enter the top 10 in Türkiye and the top 1,000 in the world is quite high, by further raising our scores in the research, innovation and societal impact (social) categories. I thank all our academic staff who contributed to our university’s 29-place rise in the SCImago 2023 ranking and to achieving these successful results, including, as last year, a place among the top 10 foundation universities.”
