Short description of the University<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kadir Has University (KHAS)<\/strong><\/span>
<\/h3>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded in 1997 as a private non-profit institution, Kadir Has University (KHAS) is one of the leading mid-size universities in Turkey. The university, which has seven faculties and three vocational schools, is dedicated to becoming a leader in university education in Turkey and neighbouring areas. More than 6,000 undergraduate students were enrolled at twenty-five different departments in the faculties of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences, Management, Art and Design, Communications, Law, and Applied Sciences and at nine different departments in the vocational schools. The university also strives to link research with graduate education through around 1,000 students in its twenty-six master\u2019s and nine Doctoral degree programs in the graduate schools of social sciences as well as science and engineering. As an outcome of the concrete steps taken since the strategic decision to shift its orientation from education to research was made in 2006, the university\u2019s current research portfolio boasts 318 projects, most of which are funded by sources other than KHAS. For the last three years, the university has ranked in the top 50 universities in the University Entrepreneurship and Innovation Index List, prepared by the Turkish Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology. The university\u2019s Innovation and Technology Transfer Research and Application Center (INEO) has been awarded funding by T\u00dcB\u0130TAK in 2014 for capacity building.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7         <\/span>Role of the University in this project<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

KHAS is lead partner on WP1 which is <\/span>dedicated to preparation activities to Project. In this WP, KHAS contributse to mapping the existing situation in engineering education with respect to smart grids, ICT and electricity markets, and the electricity market in Albania. KHAS co-leads this WP and ensure all project activities and deliverables are duly completed within the stipulated deadlines. Additionally, KHAS actively contributes in two development WPs co-leaded by other partner institutions. KHAS as a Program Partner, beside its contribution in the development of the new curricula \/ courses and capacity building of teachers and trainers in Partner HEIs, extensive contribute to the quality assurance and facilitate the overall project management and coordination. Lastly, KHAS will actively support the project dissemination and exploitation of the achieved results.<\/span><\/p>\n
