As part of the mobility programme, Prof. Dr. Sevdegül AYDIN MUNGAN also participated in the 2026 Summer HPE (Health Professions Education) Conference, where she had the opportunity to engage with international experts, exchange experiences, and gain insights into current developments and innovative practices in health professions education.

During the visit, a series of meetings were held to further strengthen the academic collaboration between the two institutions. Discussions focused on opportunities for cooperation in medical education, health sciences, and future joint research initiatives. In addition, both parties exchanged views on enhancing academic staff and student mobility within the framework of the Erasmus+ KA171 Programme.

Throughout the programme, Prof. Dr. Sevdegül AYDIN MUNGAN had the opportunity to observe the University's education, research, and healthcare infrastructure firsthand.
