Education Outreach Beyond Campus

Ege University organizes activities with different content for the benefit of education beyond the campus. These activities are carried out by academic staff working in different disciplines of Ege University. In addition, Ege University students organize off-campus activities under the supervision of an academic staff. Generally, the activities carried out when needed are monitored by the Social Responsibility Projects Coordination Office. These off-campus trainings, which are organized within the scope of community service, can be held for certain age groups or completely open to the public. A total of 18,547 people (eighteen thousand five hundred and forty-seven) participated in a total of 117 (one hundred and seventeen) events held across the university in 2023.
