Bogazici University – International Organizations

About

Established in 1863 as Robert College, this institution marked the inception of the first American higher education facility situated beyond the borders of the United States. Despite its current administration falling under Turkish jurisdiction, the university maintains robust connections with the American educational system.

Additionally, the university secures the #2 position among the Best Global Universities in Turkey.

In 2003, I embarked on a new venture, founding European Project Consultants (EPC) to actively engage with European Union innovations, initiatives, and programs. This strategic move aimed to ensure alignment with European standards and digital transformation principles in my projects and vision. The initiative focused on implementing e-content and Sixth Framework programs and funds as integral components of Turkey's integration into the European Union.

My role at EPC not only facilitated staying at the forefront of EU developments but also led to an invitation to lecture at the esteemed Bosphorus University in Turkey. As an instructor from 2007 to 2009, I concentrated on International Organizations and their responses to technological advancements. This teaching experience allowed me to maintain close ties with academic research and students, offering valuable insights into the behavioral trends of the new generation.
