Kristen Sarah Biehl Öztuzcu, a researcher at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS), was found eligible for funding under the “Raoul Wallenberg Institute (RWI) Human Rights Research Grant Programme.” 

The main goal of the “Raoul Wallenberg Institute (RWI) Human Rights Research Grant Programme”, which Kristen Sarah Biehl Öztuzcu is to be funded with her project entitled “Migration, environment, and gender in Turkey”, is to support human rights education and research in Turkey. 

The programme in question also aims to provide support to increase the number of academic studies and publications in Turkey on human rights and current humanitarian law and to encourage young academics to do research on current human rights issues in Turkey and provide them with common study areas. 

Kristen Sarah Biehl Öztuzcu summarized the content of her project entitled “Migration, environment, and gender in Turkey" as follows: “Migration and environment issues continue to be the two most vital issues in the world today. This study aims to discuss these two topics, which are mostly considered independently of each other, on the basis of gender-based phenomena as a common area in which they intersect. We also plan to do this by examining the gender sensitivity and gender approaches of non-governmental organizations that carry out activities related to migration and environment in Turkey. Looking at the literature, it seems that there have been many studies on gender relations with a focus on subjects directly affected by both migration movements and environmental disasters. However, the number of studies that investigate the ways in which gender sensitivity is reflected in activities carried out by non-governmental organizations that conduct intensive studies on these issues and function as a driving force in terms of rights advocacy in most societies is quite limited. Moreover, there seems to be no study that deals with these two areas together. Therefore, the primary goal of this study is to look for ways to think together on the axis of feminist politics by investigating gender-based approaches in the field of migration and environmental studies. 

This study also aims to build various capacities of Sabancı University through its general design. The study will contribute significantly to improving the research experience of Sabancı University's Gender and Women's Studies Center of Excellence (SU Gender), which has recently tried to include gender-based issues in its agenda in both migration and the environment with various methods. In addition, young academics studying in Sabancı University's Gender Studies Doctoral Programme will play a key role in the implementation of the project, and the project will provide them with career support in terms of implementing the expertise that they are developing. In parallel with this, the project will increase the impact and visibility of efforts made by Sabancı University, SU Gender in particular, to improve widespread societal effects of academic studies in Turkey with issues that it discusses (migration, environment, and gender) and its chosen approach (role of non-governmental organizations in this field).”  

Gizem Özbaygın, a faculty member at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (FENS), Sabancı University was found eligible for the TÜBİTAK 3501 fund.  

Gizem Özbaygın’s project supported under the TÜBİTAK 3501 fund, a career development program, is entitled “Approaches to finding cost-effective and visually attractive solutions for multi-period vehicle routing and scheduling problems.”

According to the project, the goal when discussing problems in the vehicle routing and scheduling literature is to find routes that have the lowest total cost. However, if a route plan consists of routes scattered over large areas and intersecting with each other, it is not always preferred in practice due to a number of operational difficulties or restrictions, even it offers the lowest possible cost. Instead, low-cost, but at the same time “visually attractive” routes can be more easily implemented by planners and adopted by drivers.

In this project, mathematical formulations and effective solution methods will be developed and tested based on optimization for finding visually attractive and low-cost routes with a balanced workload to solve multi-period vehicle routing and scheduling problems. No such comprehensive study that contains all mentioned elements together is not available in the literature. It is expected that the proposed modeling and solution approaches will also guide various rich ARP types that are encountered in practice and have similar elements.

The aim of the project is to evaluate the benefits it can provide in practice by developing and testing effective solution methods for a class of problems that actually exist, but do not have a systematic solution. The success of the developed methods will also be tested on the actual problem data.

International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN), which continues its efforts under the leadership of international corporate investors, held its 2020 Annual General Meeting online. Melsa Ararat, a faculty member at and Director of the Corporate Governance Forum of Sabancı University, was elected to the Board of Directors of ICGN for the fifth time at this Annual General Meeting.

Melsa Ararat said ‘I am honored to be re-elected by receiving 99% of the votes of the Board members of ICGN, which carries out activities impacting the global investment climate. To date, the only corporate member of ICGN from Turkey was the Corporate Governance Association of Turkey.  In 2020, two important investment institutions became corporate members of ICGN: Sabancı Holding and Turkey Wealth Fund. I believe that ICGN's Global Principles for Responsible Investment will be useful to these two important institutions and that their practices will expand ICGN's knowledge.’

In the article that she wrote for the 2020 ICGN Yearbook, Ararat points out that governance issues specific to emerging markets have now become global issues due to the politicization of capitalism, the concentration of partnership structures, and the increased role of the state and the transfer of knowledge between emerging markets and developed markets needs to be enhanced.

First elected as an ICGN governor at the 2015 Annual General Meeting in London, Ararat was the first member and first academic to be appointed to ICGN's Board from emerging markets. Ararat also serves on the ICGN's Global Awards Committee.

An international authority in the field of corporate governance and responsible investment, ICGN (https://www.icgn.org/) is a non-profit company established in 1995 under the laws of the United Kingdom. ICGN brings together investment and corporate governance professionals under the leadership of asset managers and institutional investors managing USD 54 Trillion in assets.  ICGN impacts the investment sector and financial policies by issuing principles, guidelines, and statements.

To celebrate the 20th year of our university, we have prepared a set of four questions to ask faculty and administrative personnel who have been with us since the beginning, and to our first students. They all tell "the story of 20 years" from their own perspectives.

Going in alphabetical order, this week's interviewee for "The Story of 20 Years" is Özlem Kalkan.

Özlem Kalkan has been a member of the Sabancı University family for 21 years. She is one of the first 251 undergraduate students of 1999, when the university opened its doors. Having graduated from the Microelectronics Program, the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (FENS) in 2003, Özlem Kalkan is one of the first graduates of the university. She completed her master's studies in Leaders for Industry as well as Telecommunications and Business Administration programs at Sabancı University. 

Having started her professional professional career as the Value Added Services Manager at Borusan Telekom during her master’s studies, Özlem Kalkan worked in various positions for the industry's leading telecommunications companies between 2005 and 2019, and became a member of the SabancıDx family as the Chief Strategy and Sales Officer (CSSO) in April 2019. Since February 2020, she has been working as the Chief Sales and Product Management Officer at SabancıDx. Özlem Kalkan is also a founding member of Wtech, the Women's Association in Technology. 

Özlem Kalkan’s answers to our four questions are below.

What was your initial memory / impression of when you met Sabancı University for the first time?

Ö.K: In high school, we would have university tours, we would see all the schools, we would imagine ourselves laying on the school’s lawn, getting lost in great lecture halls; I mean, at least I would. However, I had never imagined myself in the classrooms of a school I had never seen before. Yes, the first thing I remember about Sabancı University is that nothingness! The first time I saw the school was when I went there to take the English examption exam. Let us not call it the school; actually it was just an observation tower (I think only we and Sakıp sabancı could enter there), a dormitory building, a library which was not called the library, a café, a faculty building, and a lot of construction and the smell of turf... “What have I done?”, I said to myself... I guess I took the biggest gamble of my life that day, but I never knew I would win so much! That oasis grew so fast... As if it was not just the buildings that were constructed, it was the knowledge within us... So quickly, special, beautiful, and universal…

What are the differences between yourself 20 years ago and yourself today, and how did Sabancı University contribute to that change?

Ö.K: I am the same because I still keep walking choosing to take big risks, inspired by my adventure of choosing this university, which ended in great success…

On the other hand, I am different because I did not know how to create something from scratch, shoot for the impossible, question, and achieve not on my own or directly from someone else, but together by mutual interaction, discussion, learning, teaching, and improving; I learned that at Sabancı University. And I learned that not in a classroom or a lecture hall or from books, but by first hand experience, I learned that to my bones. And thanks to what I learned, I managed to achieve very successful results in my career. The secret of my achievements comes from a virtue that you cannot see with your eyes or touch with your hands; something unique to this university, something in its DNA. 

What comes into your mind when you think of Sabancı University in 20 years? What are your dreams for Sabancı University for the next 20 years? What about yourself?

Ö.K: There is no stopping for this school. It is always progresses, improves, develops, acquires fame, and acts as a leader. When I think of my university 20 years later, I see a university that has grown with the number of campuses, has become famous and built a reputation all over the world with its graduates, and has made a name for itself and its faculty members in international arena with its academic achievements. This is not a dream; I believe that we will see this picture. I imagine myself as one of the graduates who have planted the seeds of success in this global framework, just like I planted the seedlings of the trees in the campus 20 years age, in whose shade another generation rests.

Where and how would you be now if your paths hadn't crossed with Sabancı University?

Ö.K: If Sabancı University had not opened that year, I would have gone to Boğaziçi University. As I wanted to be an industrial engineer back then and other universities did not offer the freedom to choose your program in the last two years, I would graduate as an industrial engineer (now I am a microelectronics engineer). After school, I would have probably found myself joining a global consulting company, spending many years of busy shifts there, trying to become a partner. I cannot say it is better or worse, but it certainly would have been a safer life with low risks and less opportunities. And I certainly could not have had the chance to write these sentences, because then I would not have been one of the first graduates of a university that was so successful on a global scale! I am so lucky and I am so happy for that... How many times do you say “Thank God” about something in life anyway? Sabancı University is a rare one for me....

A PIONEER REPORT TURKEY ENERGY OUTLOOK, PREPARED BY SABANCI UNIVERSITY-IICEC, IS LAUNCHED BY IICEC.

TURKEY ENERGY OUTLOOK WILL SERVE AS A ‘POLAR-STAR’ TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 

Turkey Energy Outlook report prepared by Sabancı University Istanbul International Energy and Climate Center (IICEC), was introduced to the public with the participation of Energy and Natural Resources Minister Fatih Dönmez, Sabancı University Board of Trustees Founding Chairperson Güler Sabancı, International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Dr. Fatih Birol and IICEC Director of Research Bora Şekip Güray. This report, a first of a kind in Turkey and an exemplary study for developing countries reveals the future prospects of the energy sector.

The launch of the Turkey Energy Outlook (TEO) report, prepared by Sabancı University Istanbul International Center for Energy and Climate (IICEC), has been launched by an e-conference. The TEO Special Launch took place with the participation of the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Fatih Dönmez, Sabancı University Board of Trustees Founding Chairperson Güler Sabancı, International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Dr. Fatih Birol and IICEC Director of Research Bora Şekip Güray. 

IICEC’s Turkey Energy Outlook, completed with a detailed and comprehensive modeling and scenario analysis approach that is developed by IICEC, not only serves as a pioneering study in Turkey and an exemplary approach for developing energy economies but also represents the future perspective of the Turkish energy sector. This important report, with its comprehensive scope and content, offers ten concrete energy policy recommendations, which provide guidance for policy makers, investors, the business world and academic studies within the Public-Industry-Academy success triangle. 

Sabancı University Board of Trustees Founding Chairperson Güler Sabanci in her opening speech at the Turkey Energy Outlook: Turkey Energy Summit Special Launch said that “The pandemic has created an environment of uncertainty, but with the power of science, the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight, and that today everyone had gathered for an important report prepared in the light of science.” Güler Sabancı stated that Sabancı University Istanbul International Center for Energy and Climate (IICEC) has continued to grow under University’s umbrella since its establishment in 2010, and stated that, the “Turkey Energy Outlook project is highly meaningful in the twentieth year of our university and the tenth year of IICEC”. 

Güler Sabancı: "THIS REPORT IS AN INDEPENDENT AND OBJECTIVE UNIVERSITY PRODUCT AND A FIRST AND A PIONEER IN TURKEY.” 

Güler Sabancı continued her speech as follows: “We have completed the pioneering and exemplary work that I dreamed of 10 years ago when we were first establishing the IICEC. The governance model we created at the IICEC is also a first and an exemplary model. The key to success in developed countries are governance models that highlight participation and synergy, bring all serious stakeholders together and enable them to towards common goals and a better future together while independent, qualified research institutions create a solid basis for this. I define this as the ‘Success Triangle’. IICEC is a solid example of this Success Triangle in Turkey, that serves as a melting-pot for Public-Industry-Academy;  encompassing the policy-making and regulating the function of the public, the private sector as the investor and market actor in the industry, and academia with its research abilities all working, producing and creating value together. 

Emphasizing that they came together on this day  for the Turkey Energy Outlook study developed within this success triangle, Güler Sabancı continued as follows:  

“I know that IICEC carried out this work through a cooperative process via meetings and exchanges with important stakeholders from both the public and private sectors and industry. Therefore this project stands out not only with its academic quality but also serves as a guide book for the sector. This work, as you know, is a first of its kind in Turkey, a pioneer. It will be an example for developing country economies with both its methodology and quality. It was Dr. Fatih Birol who first proposed this idea and has followed the project thoroughly from its initiation; I thank him. We have 5 main goals: A more secure, efficient, competitive, technology-oriented and more sustainable future for energy. I think that this independent and objective University study, will be read and followed with interest in the sector and will be an important guide with its long-term perspective. 

The energy sector of Turkey has been an example to other sectors for many years in attracting foreign investment. I believe that this report will function as a very useful reference resource in enhancing the investment attraction of our energy sector and attracting modern, innovative energy and technology investments to our country”. 

FATIH BIROL: TEO IS A PIONEER STUDY FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 

International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Dr. Fatih Birol thanked everyone involved in the preparation of the report and said that “Similar studies have  been carried out in various countries, and I thought it would be very beneficial to conduct such a study in Turkey as well. IICEC was able to bring this idea to life. This study presents the perspective of the period until 2040 with a holistic approach covering all energy sectors, energy sources and technologies. I believe that the study addresses opportunities in the energy sector for a more secure, more efficient, competitive, technology-focused and sustainable future and is also a pioneering work for developing countries. 

Stating that as the IEA, they examine all the data in the world every day, Dr. Fatih Birol said that the global energy sector has gone through an unprecedented year and has experienced its biggest shock ever. Dr. Birol also stated that during this process they were also happily surprised with two developments from Turkey. "First of all, electricity consumption in Turkey has come to pre-pandemic levels of 2019 and even surpassed this. The second is the latest natural gas discovery” he said. 

10 POLICIES RECOMMENDED BY TURKEY ENERGY OUTLOOK 

Bora Şekip Güray, IICEC Director of Research, stated that they have evaluated all energy sectors, resources and technologies in detail and with a long-term perspective in this study and they carried out with a comprehensive and holistic energy model and scenario analysis. As a concrete output, the study presented 10 suggestions that both support the energy policy goals, and at the same time promote new initiatives, which will result in a more secure, efficient, competitive’ technology-focused and sustainable energy future. Güray stated that this study, which is a pioneer in developing countries in terms of its content and methodology, is a guiding study for the stakeholders of the sector, which also sheds light on current developments such as the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and the latest natural gas discovery. 

Bora Şekip Güray, summarized the 10 suggestions in the report within the framework of the TEO findings, as follows: 

1. An attractive investment framework to mobilize investments for meeting the increasing demand for modern energy services while achieving a more secure, efficient and sustainable energy future.
2. Faster progress towards competitive power and natural gas markets and wider private sector participation with cost-reflective energy prices while addressing the social dimension.
3. Increased renewable and nuclear power with more flexibility in the power grid including demand-side services.
4. Increased energy and fuel efficiency across all sectors supported by fuel shifts towards further electrification and larger use of renewable energy.
5. Strong policy initiatives, market-based and innovative financing and business models to exploit the energy efficiency potential in buildings and industries.
6. Faster uptake of electric vehicles and Turkey’s recharging infrastructure and faster retirement of older, inefficient and polluting transportation vehicles.
7. Increased modal shifts from energy and oil intensive road to rail and marine as well as a data-driven urban transportation planning structure to ensure effective public transit capital investments and measures to discourage private automobile travel.
8. Sustained exploration and production (E&P) efforts and investments to discover and produce more domestic oil and gas.
9. Increased uptake of digitalization and advanced data analytics along the energy supply and demand chain.
10. Increased innovation, R&D and manufacturing of advanced energy technologies. 

MINISTER OF ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES FATİH DÖNMEZ: "THIS PIONEER REPORT IS AN IMPORTANT SOURCE THAT WE CAN USE TO SHAPE OUR IDEAS" 

The Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Fatih Dönmez, who attended the Turkey Energy Outlook launch meeting, said that: “After the pandemic, the world economies will be accelerating more to compensate for their losses. This situation will revive the falling energy demand, especially in Europe and the USA. This will provide new windows of opportunity for energy investments. But from this point onwards, the world cannot travel down a new road with traditional ways. As the report indicates, a future with renewable energy and energy efficiency at the center awaits us”.  Dönmez, emphasizing the role of energy technology also stated that Turkey wants to be an influential player in the region and that domestic technology should play a major role in this regard. 

The Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Fatih Dönmez, said: “Up until now, we had hoped that others would also carry out energy studies and we would also benefit from them. Sabancı University-IICEC has fulfilled our wish. This report, a first of its kind in Turkey, prepared by the Sabancı University-IICEC is a highly significant resource in shaping our ideas. We benefit not only from our intellect but also from the intellect of universities and research centers. I extend my thanks to all who contributed to this study".
