正文(英文) | ![]() Imperial has a growing alumni community in Turkey ![]() More than 180 alumni joined President Alice Gast to discuss the future of Turkish innovation and entrepreneurship at a special virtual event. "Imperial's Turkish community is intelligent and resourceful and our Turkish students are very entrepreneurial." Professor Alice Gast President of Imperial College London President Gast hosted a panel discussion comprising Imperial alumni Bülent Eczacibasi (BSc Chemistry 1972) and Humphry Hatton (BEng Metallurgy and Materials Science 1984), Partner at Deloitte Global, and Imperial academic Dr Firat Güder, from the Department of Bioengineering. "We have strong connections with Turkey, including important research collaborations, growing numbers of Turkish staff and students, and we have a very large and very talented alumni base around the world. "Imperial's Turkish community is intelligent and resourceful and our Turkish students are very entrepreneurial." ![]() The future of Turkish innovation"Solving the world’s problems depends on our success in innovation." Mr Bülent Eczacibasi Chairman of Eczacibasi Holding Mr Bülent Eczacibasi, the Chairman of Eczacibasi Holding, spoke about his time at Imperial and gave his thoughts on how Turkey can harness innovation more effectively. Mr Eczacibasi said: “I believe the future of any nation depends on their skills and the resources they have to innovate. "Solving the world’s problems depends on our success in innovation, because innovation has now become a driver of sustainability. I do think this is our greatest hope for the future.”
Innovative technology“We use the technologies developed in my lab to address some of the biggest challenges in the world." Dr Firat Güder Department of Bionengineering Dr Güder, who is one of Imperial’s Turkish academics, is currently researching innovative sensors for use in healthcare, agricultural and food sciences. His group recently developed a PCR test for infectious diseases, such as COVID-19. Mr Hatton said: “You cannot fail to notice Turkey’s strong entrepreneurial culture, particularly in Istanbul. However, there is still work to be done, and universities and business aren’t as close as they are perhaps in the US, or at Imperial.” Imperial and Turkey: Research collaborations![]() Imperial has more than 80 Turkish students, a number which is growing, and 20 research staff. Some of research projects with Turkish collaborators include a project looking at the feasibility of transforming Istanbul taxis into electric vehicles.
