Social Contribution Policy
Education is one of the policies that play a role in the development of societies at local, national and global levels. Higher education institutions, on the other hand, represent the last and highest stage of the education system, with a vital role in the advancement of society.
With an awareness for the duty of higher education institutions in enlightening and advancing societies, Atılım University has adopted the mission “to create high-performance areas in the production and application of scientific knowledge within the understanding of social sensitivity and sustainability, and to train qualified individuals equipped at national and universal levels.” Based on this mission, our University constantly renews itself; bringing forth good practice examples in many areas such as education, social, cultural, economic etc. in order to benefit the society.
These targets constitute the core values of Atılım University such as “inquisitiveness, scientificity, universality, trust and reliability, respect for people and the environment, a focus on quality, corporate sense of belong, corporateness, respect for professional ethics, a focus on shareholders, productivity, innovativity, and creativity”. In parallel with these core values, our quality policy has been determined as “ensuring the satisfaction of our stakeholders with the principle of continuous development and total quality management approach in all our activities”, with the awareness that our most important stakeholder is the society itself.
Prepared with a focus on our mission, core values and quality policy, our social contribution policy aims to achieve the widest possible social benefit in every academic and administrative process executed at the university. Based on this goal, our social contribution policy adopts the principle of continuing research and production efforts for the development of the society; creating permanent solutions to social problems and disseminating them. Social contribution policy is observed in academic studies, projects, centers, student groups, social responsibility activities, cultural events, collaborations with stakeholders and all other activities at the university.
Our social contribution policy is shaped with the understanding of striving to act in harmony with the changing and developing dynamic structure of the society, especially in ecology, health, rights awareness, social responsibility, technological development and entrepreneurship; and Atılım University plays an active role in the development process.
Atılım University allocates an ever-increasing amount of resources to centers, projects, academic studies and social responsibility activities in order to fulfill the adopted social contribution policy in the best possible way, and strives to continuously improve performance by monitoring the activities carried out through formations such as strategic plan, performance management system, its Directorate of Corporate Development and Planning, and the quality commission.
