Istanbul Gelişim University aims to act as a bridge between the university and society by adopting a stakeholder governance approach. Today, as part of these activities, we host the Turkish National Paralympic Committee and national Para athletes.
As Istanbul Gelişim University School of Physical Education and Sports, we welcome Dr Hunting, the President of the Turkish Paralympic Committee. Murat Aksu and Para National Athletes Hamide Doğangün, Bahattin Hekimoğlu, Umut Ünlü and Hamza Doğan as well as Assoc. Prof. Taner Atasoy, Head of the Department of Exercise and Sports Science for the Disabled participated in the panel. Discussions on the development of Paralympic sport worldwide and in Turkey, including challenges, human resource development and the integration of sports science, were later replaced by a decision to collaborate on stakeholder projects.
