Within the scope of the Aviation, Space and Technology Festival TEKNOFEST 2024, organised by the Turkish Technology Team Foundation and the Ministry of Industry and Technology, our students from the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences representing Istinye University in the category of ‘Technology Competition for the Benefit of Humanity-Disaster Management’ came 2nd in Turkey.
Our students, who took part in the festival within the framework of TEKNOFEST technology competitions, which took place in 49 main categories and 127 sub-categories this year, won the second place with the project of developing a medical device to provide first intervention to patients suffering from crush syndrome and hypothermia under the rubble after the earthquake before being removed from the rubble. The project, which was evaluated in the disaster management category and has the potential to inspire new studies in the field of innovative health technologies, brought our university the TEKNOFEST degree.
We congratulate Eda Aktaş, one of our Biomedical Engineering students from the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Çiğse Nur Eşgi, one of our Computer Engineering students, and Muhammed Kadir Akot, one of our Mechatronics Engineering students, for their success in the IEEE Istinye Cansuyu Team at TEKNOFEST 2024 and wish them continued success.
