Abdullah Gül University (AGU) and Kayseri Provincial Directorate of Health began cooperation talks. Thanks to the cooperation talks, joint projects will be realized.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the meeting was held online, and within the scope of the cooperation, potential projects and their themes were discussed.
At the meeting, Rector Prof. İhsan Sabuncuoğlu, Provincial Health Director Dr. Ali Ramazan Benli, Life and Natural Sciences Dean Prof. Alaattin Şen, and Molecular Biology and Genetics Chair Dr. Emel Başak Gencer Akçok were in attendance.
During the meeting, Rector Prof. İhsan Sabuncuoğlu expressed that AGU is focused on global development goals with its local and global stakeholders and one of those goals concerns health. Rector Sabuncuoğlu said that cooperation is mutual. "We are ready for cooperation at both ends within the limits of our capacity and opportunities. If we cannot lend society a hand, there is no point in being a university. We must first focus on the problems of the society in which we live."
Provincial Health Director Dr. Ali Ramazan Benli stressed the need to create common working formats by coming together with the universities.
An ecosystem needs to be established, Dr. Benli said. "We can create the city's dynamics within a consensus and that future ecosystem."
Rector Prof. İhsan Sabuncuoğlu, Provincial Health Director Dr. Ali Ramazan Benli, Life and Natural Sciences Dean Prof. Alaattin Şen, and Molecular Biology and Genetics Chair Dr. Emel Başak Gencer Akçok discussed future joint projects during the rest of the meeting.
