AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation, published on March 27, 2026, amends the founding regulation of Anadolu University's Art and Design Application and Research Center (originally published July 21, 2023, Official Gazette No. 32255). The amendments update the Center's stated purpose, expand its activity areas, and revise its governance structure. The revised purpose clause (Article 5) now emphasizes building an advanced research infrastructure aligned with the university's art and design goals, conducting qualified research and artistic activities, developing designs, collaborating with field experts, and training skilled artists and researchers. The activity areas (Article 6) have been significantly expanded to include establishing laboratories, research units, and application areas; forming working groups; organizing education programs, conferences, seminars, workshops, symposia; collaborating with national and international institutions; producing publications; providing equipment safety training; and organizing cultural events such as theater screenings, festivals, and concerts for students, staff, and the broader public. Governance changes include capping deputy directors at two (appointed by the Rector on the Director's recommendation), clarifying succession rules when the Director is absent, and resizing the Management Board to a maximum of nine members total — the Director, deputy directors, and six members appointed by the Rector for three-year terms.
