Our University, which is the largest university in Anatolia apart from Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, is a University that completed its education and research infrastructure many years ago. As a matter of fact, in 39 research centers, scientific research is carried out in every field from vaccine development to drug research, from nanotechnology to stem cells, from energy systems to agriculture. Attaching importance to historical and cultural studies in Kayseri, a Seljuk city, our university carries out activities worthy of the name “Makarr-ı Ulema”. Our University, which has had a permanent place in the top 10 and top 5 according to success rankings in Turkey, is among the top 500-1000 in international University rankings. Our goal is to raise the success rate of our University to higher levels; to reach Turkey's 2023, 2053, and 2071 goals with the knowledge and the projects to be done. We should never forget that universities are not only educational institutions but also learning centers that work and research on the development and contribution of the city, region and country and shed light on innovation with their researches. With these feelings, we will always keep Erciyes University’s horizon and development bar high. - We will never compromise on research, knowledge generation, innovation and development.
