Sabancı University Vice President of Research and Development Şirin Tekinay was re-elected as a member of Board of Governors of the European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI) for a period of three years at the organization's General Assembly held on September 17, 2018.
Şirin Tekinay has been a member of the Board of Governors of Europe's largest communication network among actors in engineering education since 2015. Last year, Tekinay helped Sabancı University become an institutional member of SEFI, which provides the university with priority in participating in SEFI publications, conferences and student organizations.
SEFI membership enables Sabancı University to look for top-level partners in European Union applications, like the Alumni and Career Office does in international internships, and brought our "Roots and Wings” education system a nomination for the Maffioli Award. Roots and Wings was shortlisted for the awards and provided us with a great opportunity to promote our university during the presentations of finalists at the SEFI Annual Conference in September 2018.
