After the moment of silence and the reading of the National Anthem, the opening speech was made by Prof. Dr. Yakup Kaska, Dean of the Faculty of Science.

Dean Prof. Dr. Kaska stated the following in his speech at the opening of the conference: "I would like to thank the department, panelists and participants for this panel organized by the Department of Biology within the scope of the 100th anniversary of our Republic. I would also like to thank Prof. Dr. Çağrı Ergin for taking the time to attend the conference. After the presentations made by our other departments, we are together this week at the conference of the Department of Biology. Our department will have another conference next week. The subject of today's conference, 'ethics', is actually a very critical word for all of us, and Çağrı will enlighten us about the 'ethical' problems especially in the case of open access in journals. I wish it to be a fruitful presentation."
