For this reason, we attach great importance to rewarding the work of our academics". Prof. Dr. Koyuncu also emphasised in his speech that ITU is the university that brings the most academics to Turkey.
In the academic performance category, criteria such as the number of publications - citations – and projects within the department, the number of credits, the number of projects and the budget of the course, and the number of postgraduate students who graduated in 2020-2022 were decisive; in the publications category, our academics who published the most during 2022 were deemed worthy of the award.
In the “Academic Performance and Publication” category, our faculty members from the Department of Mining Engineering, Geological Engineering, Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering, Geophysical Engineering, and Mineral Processing Engineering Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kumral, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Sabri Çelik, Prof. Dr. Kürşad Kadir Eriş, Prof. Dr. Nurgül Çelik Balcı, Prof. Dr. Ziyadin Çakır, Prof. Dr. Türker Hüdaverdi, Prof. Dr. Cemal Balcı, Prof. Dr. Ataç Başçetin, Prof. Dr. Şafak Altunkayak, Prof. Dr. Hanifi Çopur, Prof. Dr. Gürşat Altun, Assoc.
