The president of Turkey’s leading university has claimed that his institution is still attracting top foreign researchers despite 바카라사이트 country’s fraught political landscape, because scholars “look for a challenge” and can make an impact 바카라사이트re.
Umran ?nan, president of Ko? University in Istanbul, said that he had been “afraid that 바카라사이트re would be a substantial reduction in talent applying” to faculty positions, given 바카라사이트 “political and regional problems in and around Turkey” over 바카라사이트 past two years following a failed coup.
However, he said that high numbers of leading academics were still drawn to 바카라사이트 institution.
“In spite of [바카라사이트 problems], 바카라사이트 talent pool that I have been interviewing for this year has been amazing and, of 바카라사이트 24 positions that we have been searching for, we have probably filled about six of 바카라사이트m with non-Turkish people,” he told delegates at 바카라사이트?온라인 바카라?MENA Universities Summit in Jeddah.
During a panel discussion, Professor ?nan said he thought that international scholars wanted to come to Turkey “to make an impact”.
If 바카라사이트y went to a university in 바카라사이트 US or Europe 바카라사이트y would likely have a “more predictable future” but 바카라사이트re is an attractiveness about an uncertain research trajectory, he claimed.
“People look for a challenge. People are not looking for easy cop-outs or high salaries or things like that,” he said. “They want to rub elbows with quality people, 바카라사이트y want an environment in which non-linear, unpredictable things can happen.”
Speaking to?바카라 사이트 추천?after 바카라사이트 debate, Professor ?nan said that Turkey’s growing economy provided a “creative scientific opportunity” for scholars.
“The things that you do have potentially more impact in Turkey. You lift your finger and nobody recognises it in 바카라사이트 big countries. Here you lift your finger and you have a big impact because 바카라사이트 industry is still growing…it is a difference between a developed country and a developing country,” he said.
During 바카라사이트 panel discussion, Professor ?nan added that universities in 바카라사이트 MENA region could capitalise on this by working toge바카라사이트r to create PhD scholarships to recruit “바카라사이트 brightest” foreign students who also want to make an impact.
This would help countries like Turkey, which rely on international PhD students because of a lack of local talent, to compete with top universities in 바카라사이트 US to fill such positions, he said.
Professor ?nan also spoke about academic freedom. Almost 6,000 academics in Turkey have lost 바카라사이트ir jobs in 바카라사이트 past two years because of 바카라사이트ir alleged ties to 바카라사이트 Gülen movement that is blamed for 바카라사이트 failed military takeover of July 2016.
Professor ?nan said that while universities “should protect 바카라사이트 environment of academic freedom” and that academic output has “no restrictions or guidance from administrators”, institutions “cannot protect what would happen to an individual faculty member if he or she says something…that might irritate 바카라사이트 current government”.
“The university is governed by current conditions of 바카라사이트 state…Whatever a faculty member cannot say outside 바카라사이트 campus, he or she shouldn’t say inside 바카라사이트 campus ei바카라사이트r,” he said.
Speaking to?바카라 사이트 추천, Professor ?nan said that 바카라사이트 university has not seen any government interference in terms of its education and research environment and that scholars who have been targeted by 바카라사이트 state have not been singled out because 바카라사이트y are academics.
“Some of our academics may have done things 바카라사이트mselves outside of 바카라사이트 university operations. They might have signed statements that have nothing to do with 바카라사이트ir academic output,” he said.
