The third issue of Boletín Decanal, published by the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Murcia, featured scientific collaborations between Türkiye and Spain under the heading “MAES© Internacional”, as well as research published within the scope of these collaborations. The article highlighted the role of Lecturer Dr. Mehmet Halil Öztürk’s one-year postdoctoral research activities, carried out at the University of Murcia in 2025 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. José Luis Díaz Agea, in the development of these collaborations.

As part of this academic collaboration, two studies aimed at introducing and scientifically evaluating the MAES© methodology in Türkiye were published in 2026. The first was a review article published in Gümüşhane University Journal of Health Sciences, addressing the methodology’s key features and implementation processes. The second study was published in the international journal Clinical Simulation in Nursing.

The University of Murcia bulletin also included photographs from Lecturer Dr. Mehmet Halil Öztürk’s research activities and discussed the contributions of academic mobility and international collaborations to scientific knowledge production and the dissemination of innovative educational approaches. These studies contribute to the development of Pamukkale University’s international academic collaborations and enhance its scientific visibility in the field of health sciences education.

MAES© (Self-Learning Methodology in Simulated Environments) is an innovative educational approach developed at the University of Murcia. It aims to enable students to take an active role in simulation environments and develop their knowledge and skills through problem-solving, teamwork and peer learning.
