İstinye University continues to contribute to the world of science and technology through academic and sectoral collaborations. In this context, the strategic partnership with Evideep Turkey, a global player in the fields of health and biotechnology, aims to offer significant gains across a wide range, including clinical research, AI-supported data analytics, academic projects in the pharmaceutical sector, and career opportunities for engineering students.
“Beyond scientific production, commercialization and global competitiveness should be the goal”
İstinye University Rector Prof. Dr. Erkan İbiş emphasized that universities should not only produce knowledge but also commercialize this knowledge in a way that benefits society, stating:
“Collaboration awareness and the value of data are just beginning to be understood in Turkey. Currently, the most important output is seen as scientific publications, but the ultimate goal of this process should be production and commercialization. İstinye University’s ‘New Generation University’ vision requires the integration of academic knowledge into the sector and increasing global competitiveness.”
“Brand partnerships are crucial in clinical research”
“Working with young academics is a great opportunity for us. Brand partnerships in clinical research are of critical importance. Increasing our publication count, strengthening data access through AI, and providing a secure research environment are among our top priorities.”
