The Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology has released the “Entrepreneurial and Innovative University Index” which was prepared by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK).

Atılım University was ranked in 26th place among the universities in Turkey and 9th among the private universities in 2012.

However, in 2013, Atılım University was ranked in 20th place among the universities in Turkey and 8th among the private universities in the same index.

In order to support university- industry cooperation, the Metal Forming Center of Excellence was established in Atılım University (http://msmm.atilim.edu.tr/). Moreover, within the framework of Atılım University Undergraduate Research Projects Programme (http://argeda.atilim.edu.tr/tr/lap) industry-supported projects are carried out by students in which students investigate the solution of a problem that an institution has provided.

Another innovation is “Entrepreneurship Projects Course” which is selective and opened in each semester. In this course students are required to carry out projects in order to establish a company. The students who have succeeded this course are issued KOSGEB Applied Entrepreneurship Education Programme Certificate of Participation.

KOSGEB- ATILIM University Technology Development Center (ATILIM-TEKMER) is the latest investment of Atılım University which was established in order to provide an efficient environment for our students, academic staff and entrepreneurs who will work in the field of technology.
