On December 30, SUNUM gathered with top-level executives from public institutions and organizations, primarily industrial companies from various sectors, at the Future Design ARAMA Conference.
With keen interest from our stakeholders, we evaluated the ‘SUNUM Way’ model and hybrid approaches that will accelerate processes from the laboratory to the market in focus areas such as Health, Chemistry, Agriculture-Food, Flexible Electronics, Artificial Intelligence, and Quantum, aiming to reshape our Center's innovation and adaptation route in light of global technology preferences.
The meeting, hosted by our Director Prof. Alpagut Kara and chaired by our President of the Board Prof. Oğuz Babüroğlu, was also attended by Sabancı University Rector Prof. Yusuf Leblebici, Vice Rector for Research Prof. Mehmet Yıldız, and MDBF Dean Prof. Erkay Savaş. Ideas shaped by brainstorming and group work were discussed collectively and recorded for strategic evaluation. We would like to thank our valued partners who contributed to the ARAMA Conference in shaping the future of our Center.
The importance and sustainability of the TEAM-NANO project were also discussed during the event. In this context, collaboration opportunities arising from the strengthening of stakeholder activities and capacity building within TEAM-NANO were evaluated and ideas were exchanged with our industry partners. The discussions provided important input both in terms of contributing to SUNUM's institutional development and structuring new collaboration opportunities in line with TEAM-NANO's objectives. In order to increase the project's efficiency, it is aimed that these collaborations will continue under the TEAM-NANO umbrella.
