Our Children’s University Discovery Campus project, with Hasan Kalyoncu University among our stakeholders, and which we opened in Gaziantep for the first time in Türkiye, has been realised. Through the Science Centres in Gaziantep, the Experiment-and-Make Workshops and the work our universities have done in the context of TEKNOFEST, we will all see together, a few years from now, the fruits planted today turn into production and products tomorrow. This year we will hold TEKNOFEST in 3 different cities: İzmir, Ankara and İstanbul. The interest and support of Hasan Kalyoncu University and its students in TEKNOFEST are commendable. At TEKNOFEST 22, Hasan Kalyoncu University ranked 12th among 207 universities, and this is very valuable.”
