Prof. Dr. İsmail Ovalı, administrative managers, team advisors, faculty members and team member students attended the program held at PAU Central Dining Halls Orange Hall.
Rector Kutluhan: "Our teams, which have already achieved success once, need to progress further on that path"
Rector Prof. Dr. Ahmet Kutluhan, who stated that the support for the competing students will increase and that Pamukkale University will help them with the issues they need, stated the following in his speech at the program: "We want more participation in the next TEKNOFEST competitions. It is of great importance for us that our teams progress, the second one becomes the first one, and the one who cannot enter the ranking enters the ranking. Our teams, which have already made their way to success, need to progress further on that path. Let's give them and their counselors team and equipment support. The other issue is that there were 49 teams this year, but we made it to the finals with 12 teams. Last year we made it to the finals with 25 teams. The higher the number of teams we make it to the finals, the higher the rate at which we receive awards. TEKNOFEST has gained an international dimension. As the number of teams and projects increases with the international dimension, we expect the quality to improve and increase. This is my opinion about the teams that have made progress. After all, it is very important for us that these 12 teams, which have reached the finals with our teachers, will also reach the finals next year."
