ITU is a state university which defines and continues to update methods of engineering and architecture in Turkey. It provides its students with modern educational facilities while retaining traditional values, as well as using its strong international contacts to mould young, talented individuals who can compete not only within their country borders but also in the global arena. ITU was established in 1773, during the time of the Ottoman Sultan Mustafa III. Under its original name "Muhendishane-i Bahr-i Humayun", The Royal School of Naval Engineering, its responsibility was to educate chart masters and ship builders. In 1795, the "Muhendishane-i Berr-i Humayun", The Royal School of Military Engineering, was established to educate technical staff in the army. In 1847, education in the field of architecture was also introduced. Established in 1883, the “Hendese-i Mülkiye”, the School of Civil Engineering, assumed the name “Mühendis Mekteb-i Alisi”, Engineering Academy, in 1909, with the aim of educating the staff for work on the country’s infrastructure projects. Gaining university status in 1928, the “Yüksek Mühendis Mektebi”, Engineering Academy, continued to provide education in the fields of engineering and architecture until it was incorporated into Istanbul Technical University, in 1944. Finally, in 1946, ITU became an autonomous university, including the Faculties of Civil Engineering, Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering.

The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) is the leading agency for management, funding and conduct of research in Turkey. It was established in 1963 with a mission to advance science and technology, conduct research and support Turkish researchers. The Council is an autonomous institution and is governed by a Scientific Board whose members are selected from prominent scholars from universities, industry and research institutions. TÜBİTAK is responsible for promoting, developing, organizing, conducting and coordinating research and development in line with national targets and priorities. TÜBİTAK acts as an advisory agency to the Turkish Government on science and research issues, and is the secretariat of the Supreme Council for Science and Technology (SCST), the highest S&T policy making body in Turkey. Setting its vision as to be an innovative, guiding, participating and cooperating institution in the fields of science and technology, which serves for improvement of the life standards of our society and sustainable development of our country, TÜBİTAK not only supports innovation, academic and industrial R&D studies but also in line with national priorities develops scientific and technological policies and manages R&D institutes, carrying on research, technology and development studies. Furthermore, TÜBİTAK funds research projects carried out in universities and other public and private organizations, conducts research on strategic areas, develops support programs for public and private sectors, publishes scientific journals, popular science magazines and books, organizes science and society activities and supports undergraduate and graduate students through scholarships. More than 1,500 researchers work in 15 different research institutes of TÜBİTAK where contract research as well as targeted and nation-wide research is conducted.

Founded on the foundations of the Chair of Child Health established in 1954 by Prof. Dr. İhsan Doğramacı, Hacettepe rapidly became one of Türkiye’s most prominent institutions in the fields of health and science. With the establishment of the Children’s Hospital and the Institute of Child Health, a strong academic structure was formed that integrated education, research, and public service. This pioneering approach in health sciences was further institutionalized with the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Health Sciences. With the official establishment of Hacettepe University in 1967, this accumulated academic heritage was consolidated under a single university structure. Since then, Hacettepe has taken its place among Türkiye’s most respected and leading higher education institutions. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2017 with pride, Hacettepe University today continues to contribute to social development and universal values in the fields of science, technology, and the arts through its 17 faculties, 15 institutes, 4 vocational schools, 2 schools of higher education, 1 conservatory, and 98 research and application centers. For tens of thousands of students, alumni, and staff members, being a member of Hacettepe means being part of a distinguished academic tradition, a strong institutional culture, and a vision that shapes the future.
