On Wednesday, October 18, 2023, we joyously celebrated the 100th anniversary of our Republic by blending the realms of science and art. Following Prof. Dr. Hilmi Volkan Demir’s opening speech, the talented students of Bilkent University’s Faculty of Music and Performing Arts treated the audience to a special quartet performance. The event offered an unforgettable experience for those in attendance and provided the opportunity to reflect on the universal essence of music as well as the core values and heritage of our republic.
On the eve of the centennial celebration of our Republic, the Bilkent University National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) stands proudly as a beacon of the fundamental values upon which the Republic was founded. Positioned at the forefront of the nation’s global ambitions in science and technology, UNAM views science as the very heart of its endeavors. UNAM stands as a significant representative of scientific and technological progress and is proud to be a part of the Turkish Republic’s illustrious legacy that has spanned a century. We ardently and proudly continue its mission and embody the Republic’s visionary ideals by cultivating the next generation of R&D leaders, creating knowledge on the international stage, and pioneering cutting-edge technologies for Turkey.
