Exchange Lounge Opens Its Doors

The Exchange Lounge, launched by the Istanbul Ticaret University Exchange Programs Coordination Office in line with its vision for internationalization, hosted its first academic event.

The event, held on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, in Room C-516 at the Sâdâbâd Campus, featured Dr. Aigul Alibekova from L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, who was visiting our university for two weeks as part of the Orhun Exchange Program’s Teaching Mobility initiative, met with Istanbul Ticaret University faculty members during her seminar titled “Public Finance Management.” The seminar, attended by nine faculty members from the Faculty of Business Administration, contributed to the sharing of diverse academic experiences and the strengthening of international academic interaction.

Designed to bring together international faculty members, students, and university staff, the Exchange Lounge serves as a meeting place that encourages the sharing of academic knowledge and experience, supports cross-cultural interaction, and contributes to the university’s internationalization goals.

In the coming period, the Exchange Lounge—which will also host academics visiting our university from various countries—plans to organize seminars, talks, and various academic gatherings. These events aim to develop international collaborations, strengthen academic networks, and enhance our university’s international visibility.
