Social Contribution Activities

For the social contribution activities of our faculty, see the Social Contribution page and the Social Contribution website of our University.

Our social contribution activities are planned and monitored by the Social Contribution Commission, established in the 2025-2026 academic year, and reported to the Social Contribution Coordinatorship of our University. On 9 December 2025 our faculty members were given an information session on the Social Contribution Commission and the importance of social contribution, and the Social Contribution Software Module was introduced.
