  The Center has a supra-departmental and interdisciplinary structure. The purpose of establishing the Center is to ensure integration with the industry, to carry out joint projects in industrial digitalization efforts, to conduct research for R&D studies and to support the development of applicable models, and to enable undergraduate and graduate students to be involved in practical training and education.

Thanks to this center, which will serve all university faculties and departments, students’ interest in the 4th Industrial Revolution and digitalization will be increased; awareness will be raised about the industrial changes we are experiencing. Higher education institutions, which must have a dynamic structure, are obliged to carry out studies to improve the programs implemented and the quality of education and training. The outputs obtained from the research and application activities of the Center will make significant contributions to the university in particular and, in general, to industrial enterprises and research institutes through planned education, project, and R&D activities.
