Our Institute's Open Research Day was held on December 1 with a keynote speech with Assoc. Prof. Nilay Sezer Uzol (Aerospace Engineering) on the EuroCC-2 project and the Open Research Day Awards Ceremony was held on December 8. We would like to congratulate our students and their advisors for their rigorous work. Remarkably, four out of these ten were from our department, Multimedia Informatics.
