Where to Find Mersin University's News, Events, and Research Pages

Mersin University's official website, mersin.edu.tr, organizes news, events, and research as three separate sections on its homepage. The News section lists dated announcements with category tags, Events presents a chronological calendar with venue and time details, and Research highlights the university's research fields and projects. All three are reachable directly from the homepage without logging in.

News: Dated Announcements with Category Tags

The News section ("Mersin University News") appears on the homepage as a reverse-chronological feed. Each entry follows the same pattern: a date, a category label, a headline, and a short summary line.

Recent entries shown on the site include:

How to use it: scan the category tag first (Academic, Environment, Event, Achievement) to filter by interest, then use the date to judge recency. The "All" link at the top of the feed opens the full news archive. Because headlines are truncated with ellipses in the feed, open the individual item to read the complete announcement.

Events: A Dated Calendar with Venue and Time

The Events section ("Stay up to date with university events") lists upcoming items with four consistent fields: event type, title, venue, and date/time range. A sample from the current listing:

• Ceremony — "A Ceremony to Thank the Silent Teachers of Medicine," MEU School of Medicine, 26.10.2026, 10:40–13:00
• Concert — MEU Academic Chamber Orchestra Republic Concert, Nevit Kodallı Chamber Music Center Concert Hall, 26.10.2026, 18:00–21:00
• Conference — "The Republic and Language," Prof. Dr. Uğur Oral Cultural Center, Hall B, 27.10.2026, 10:30–12:00
• Exhibition — "Colors of the Republic: In the Footsteps of Ikat," Faculty of Fine Arts Gallery, 27.10.2026 14:00 – 09.11.2026 17:00
• Event — Book Talk: "Gobol Kıraathanesi" with Metin Ay, Prof. Dr. Uğur Oral Cultural Center, Hall C, 27.10.2026, 14:00–17:00

How to use it: the venue field tells you which campus building to go to, and multi-day items such as the exhibition give both a start and end date. The "All Events" link opens the complete calendar.

Research: Fields, Projects, and Funding Notes

The Research section ("Our research for a sustainable future") is organized by research field rather than by date. The homepage shows field tags (for example, research, vehicle) alongside project notes — one entry mentions that Dean Prof. Dr. Caner Özdemir will design a project under TÜBİTAK, Turkey's national research funding agency. The "All Research Fields" link opens the full listing.

How to use it: if you are looking for a specific discipline or a funded project, start from the field tags rather than scrolling the news feed, since research items are not dated the same way as news.

Context: Why These Sections Matter

The homepage frames the university with a set of headline figures that help you interpret the news and research items: 19 faculties, 11 vocational schools, 5 institutes, 6 schools, over 45,123 students, over 2,450 academic staff, 200+ programs, and 150,000+ alumni. It also displays rankings — QS World University Rankings 2026 (#79 Western Asia, #11 among Turkish state universities, #341 in Europe for international student diversity, #701–900 European ranking) — and GreenMetric and EduRank placements. Sustainability appears repeatedly in the news feed (the Zero Waste workshop, the GreenMetric top-100 visit), so readers interested in that theme should check the Environment and Achievement categories first.

Quick Reference

One practical note: dates on the site appear in DD.MM.YYYY format, so 20.10.2026 means 20 October 2026, not October 20 in the US style.
