Our Innovation-Oriented Philosophy and Vision for the Future

At Istanbul Aydın University, we are building a sustainable ecosystem at the intersection where academic knowledge meets industry.

Our Vision

We aim to establish Istanbul Aydın University as a leading institution in research and innovation, where the transformation of knowledge into production is an integral component of its academic identity.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide sustainable contributions to regional and national competitiveness by transforming R&D activities and innovative ideas into high-value technological and economic outcomes. We serve as a primary bridge for cooperation between the university, government, industry, and society to foster and disseminate a culture of innovation across the region.

TTPYO and Project Processes

The Technology Transfer and Project Management Office (TTPYO) was established in 2016. It consists of two main units: the Technology Transfer Office (TTO) and the Project Management Office (PMO). TTPYO conducts activities to support university researchers and students in applying for academic and industrial projects, matching ideas with open calls, and providing expert feedback on project proposals.

Training, Mentorship, and Industry Cooperation

TTPYO organizes informational sessions, training programs, mentorship, collaborations, and matchmaking for researchers, students, and all ecosystem stakeholders. Within the framework of University-Industry cooperation, TTPYO, through İAÜ TEKMER, assists academics in executing industrial projects and signs strategic cooperation protocols with leading firms.

Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship

All processes related to the intellectual and industrial property rights of university researchers and students—including patent, utility model, and design applications, post-application follow-up, and commercialization—are managed by TTPYO through İAÜ TEKMER. In addition to university members, TTPYO provides support to external SMEs and entrepreneurs for the maturation, incorporation, and commercialization of their business ideas.
