Since 2006, the Bilkent University Industrial Engineering Operational Research Club has organized Genç AKADEMİ under the slogan “Türkiye’s University Gathering.” The event brought together more than 1,600 students from 90 universities across Türkiye once again this year.
For two days, leaders from business, arts, politics, sports and media met with students through engaging seminars, interactive workshops and inspiring discussions. Through these sessions, “today’s leaders” connected with “tomorrow’s leaders,” continuing the long tradition of fostering insight and opportunity for university students.
The event aims to support students searching for direction in their careers or feeling worried about their futures by introducing them to inspiring leaders from Türkiye’s top companies and institutions. Participants were offered a meaningful academic and social experience that broadened their perspectives and enriched their professional outlook.
The 21st Genç AKADEMİ was held on December 13–14, 2025, at TED Ankara Koleji Ata Sahne in Ankara. The event featured a wide range of top-tier speakers and sessions from industry-leading companies, giving students valuable insights into career paths and leadership.
