IGU Rewarded Academic Achievement: Academic Performance Awards Found Their Recipients

Istanbul Gelisim University hosted this year’s traditional Academic Performance Award Ceremony with great participation, aiming to encourage academic productivity, make qualified work visible, and strengthen the culture of institutional success. During the ceremony, certificates of achievement were presented to faculty members who stood out with their academic contributions throughout 2024.

Comprehensive Academic Evaluation with APSIS

The Academic Performance Evaluation Process Management System (APSIS), developed in-house by IGU, was implemented in a much more comprehensive manner this year.

While the analysis process was carried out with 568 evaluation items in 2023, it was deepened in 2024 with a total of 2,440 evaluation items in 136 sub-activity areas. This increase in scope allowed academic activities to be monitored in more detail, both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Performance Evaluation in Six Categories

The academic performance evaluation process was conducted under six main categories:

• General Ranking

• Publications and Citations

• Projects, Patents, and Designs

• Awards, Memberships, and Recognition

• Scientific and Professional Activities

• Educational Activities

While each category was analyzed separately, the top 20 academics in the general ranking were honored with the “Encouragement Award.”
