Bringing Scholars Together Across Borders

Speaking at the opening ceremony, our Rector, Prof. Dr. Hamdullah ÇUVALCI, highlighted the role of KTUDELL in strengthening the University's international academic connections.

He noted that the conference offered a valuable opportunity to discuss both established questions in language, literature, and translation and new challenges arising from digitalization, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies. He also emphasized the importance of bringing different disciplines and research perspectives together to better understand language, meaning, and human experience.

Encouraging Undergraduate Research

Our Rector welcomed the special sessions organized for undergraduate students working on TÜBÄ°TAK 2209-A research projects. He stressed that giving students opportunities to share their findings and take part in academic discussions helps them develop research skills early in their university education. He also expressed his hope that the conference would inspire new ideas, research, and collaborations.
