It was a conference I was proud of in all terms! The Organizing Committee was composed of my friends, colleagues and professors and they did a great job from the scratch to the last minute thanks to their full court press and smart actions. The well planned events, the high quality technical equipments, the kindest crew and even the tasty cookies at the foyer area made the conference a spectacular one. The keynote speakers gave such information that was all fun and comprehensive and the audience is all very interested and qualified. I personally appreciate all the committee members and the stakeholders for this fulfilling event!

Lecturer Havva Nur YEŞİLDAĞ

Our university hosted the conference on "Internationalization in Higher Education" with great success, which was organized with many national and international stakeholders. I had the opportunity to attend IHECON 2024 with my students taking the Professional English-I course in the Faculty of Education. I think this conference, where many of my students had their first academic experience, is very important in terms of their professional development. This two-day academic feast hosted many valuable keynote speakers. At the same time, the papers presented in the UZEM halls were very high quality and satisfying. These academic sessions, consisting of various disciplines, sparked lights in our minds in different fields. I also had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with many different people during coffee breaks. Hosting such an organization of course requires technically and academically well-planning. We are proud of our university and being a part of it. Many thanks to the organizing committee and the stakeholders. We will be waiting for more with a great excitement.
