It is the biggest and the most established university in Turkey, running 767 diploma programs, with its 20 Faculties, 17 Institutes, 3 Colleges, 1 Conservatoire, 7 Vocational Schools, 41 Application and Research Centers, and 3 Departments. It has a unique training and education potential with its approximately 18,000 graduates. The objectives of İstanbul University, among world’s top 500 universities (ARWU ranking) for the past eight years, for the near future are to be among the world’s top 100 universities and maintain its greatest role in shaping our past/history since 1453 as a “Bridge of Science from the Past into the Future”. Istanbul University has the highest number of publications in Turkey, the number of publications per faculty member increases approximately by 5% each year. It was the serious support attempts for improving the research facilities of scientists at the international level and for strengthening their motivation that led to the attainment of this success. What plays a key role in the progress of nations in the scientific arena is the support given to fundamental scientific research. However, in a globalized world, research that benefits the society is the only way to achieve sustainable development, welfare the whole society enjoys, and a future for a world where we can live. The achievement of this objective is through collaboration of all relevant institute and institutions in areas of research on applied sciences, without neglecting fundamental scientific research. In the last five years, İstanbul University has recognized it as its primary objective to carry its research capacity beyond scientific publications and transform it into new technology and products offering solutions to the problems of our country, region and world society. Our mission is to produce sustainable solutions to the problems in the fields of environment, energy sources, social area, health and culture by research relevant for the society, on the other hand, our vision is to achieve this objective through regional and academic cooperation and in ten years to carry this process to a level that will draw attention of the international academic community. The aim, in preparing the Catalogue of Research Laboratories at İstanbul University, is to enhance our collaboration with our national and international partners in the fields of health, science, engineering, and social sciences by presenting our university’s research inventory and facilities for research to universities, state institutions, private sector establishments, and the public. We present our research inventory as well as vast opportunities of our laboratories to the attention of universities, state institutions, private sector entities and society through our catalogue, The Catalogue of Research Laboratories of İstanbul University, in order to increase our cooperation with our stakeholders in the fields of health, science, engineering and social sciences.
