About
The Turkish Ministry of Development’s Socio-Technical University Model for Higher Education was used to establish AGU as a state university. The first cross-sectorial initiative for a hybrid university model, this pilot project began in 2010 to change higher education. More than 700 collaborators from universities, corporations, NGOs, and others developed it. AGU has the intellectual capital to innovate and promote the university’s third purpose, “Societal Impact,” in Turkey and beyond. AGU, a research university that solves global problems through collaboration and learner-centered methodologies, aspires to create citizens who can affect the future by transforming knowledge into economic and social values. UNCHR, UNDP, UN Academic Impact, SDG Universities, Global Solutions Initiatives, Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and others collaborate with AGU. AGU’s Strategic Strategy, Climate Action Plan, Zero Waste and LEED Certificates, ISO 14064:2018 Certificate, etc. are also outstanding contributions to sustainable development.
