THE AGENDA OF PSYCHOLOGY WAS SET FOR THE 18TH TIME
Giving the opening speech of the programme, Asst. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Dinç, Head of the HKU Department of Psychology, said: “We have come together once again in the 9th year of the Psychology Agenda. This year we are with you at the ‘18th Psychology Agenda’. We continued the Psychology Agenda, which we hold regularly every year, online without a break during the pandemic. As the Hasan Kalyoncu University Department of Psychology, we carry out many events regularly every year. So that our events are not limited to our own students, we organise programmes such as the Psychology Agenda, which gives us the opportunity to meet guests from different provinces. We continue our work within the framework of psychological science for our province, our region and our country as much as we can. In this respect, today we are with you again with a very important subject and guest.”
