Prof. Dr. Yeliz Bozkurt Gümrükçüoğlu Leads TÜBİTAK 1001 Project: Developing a Mediation-Based Sustainable Solution Model for University Campuses
The project titled “Analysis of Conflict Management in University Campuses and Development of a Mediation-Based Sustainable Institutional Solution Model”, led by Prof. Dr. Yeliz Bozkurt Gümrükçüoğlu, Director of the Ibn Haldun University Dispute Resolution Implementation and Research Center, has been awarded funding under the 2025/1 call of the TÜBİTAK ARDEB 1001 Program, coordinated by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK).

Within the scope of the TÜBİTAK 1001 project carried out by the Ibn Haldun University Dispute Resolution Implementation and Research Center, the causes, parties, and dynamics of conflicts occurring on university campuses will be analyzed through scientific methods, and the effectiveness of existing resolution mechanisms will be evaluated. Based on the findings, a sustainable and participatory mediation-based institutional solution model will be designed, along with implementation roadmaps.

Project Objectives

  • Identify and classify the types of conflicts arising in campus environments

  • Determine the strengths and areas for improvement in existing resolution mechanisms
