FENS Newsletter - Issue 7
Dear Students, Friends, and Colleagues,
We are pleased to share the latest edition of the FENS Newsletter, providing an overview of our accomplishments, research highlights, awards, projects, and significant activities since our last issue in July 2023.
Throughout the Fall term of 2023-2024, FENS organized a variety of events and activities showcased in the Seminars & Events section. These include the "Dean’s Speaker Series", Graduate Seminars, and “Sharing Experiences: Faculty Learning from Each Other”. Your active contribution to and participation in these events significantly enhances their impact, and we encourage continued engagement.
The Projects section highlights our extensive involvement in project development, featuring both accepted national and international projects and noteworthy EU projects that are above the threshold.
Within the Research Highlights section, you will find details on the noteworthy research achievements of our members. Our special congratulations go to Nur Mustafaoğlu, who has recently been awarded ERC starting grant, which is the first one at our faculty. We encourage you to check the Awards & Recognition and Other Achievements sections to learn about awards and recognitions earned by FENS members. Congratulations to all recipients, and we wish continued success in their academic pursuits. Additionally, the Hot Topics section offers thought-provoking reading pieces by FENS faculty members. Lastly, the News section provides updates on various activities and events within FENS.
Our sincere gratitude is due to our Vice Dean for Research and her team members, as well as the Outreach Committee, for compiling this newsletter. Special thanks to all our faculty members, who promptly contributed data. Please note that the content of this issue covers the time span from July 1 and November 30, 2023. If we inadvertently missed any of your projects, activities, or achievements in this issue, kindly inform us so that we can include them in the next edition.
We invite you to join us in celebrating these achievements, made possible through hard work, collective effort, dedication, and perseverance.
Best regards,
Erkay Savaş.
