1. Regional Development Oriented Mission Differentiation

 With the cooperation of the Council of Higher Education and the Ministry of Development, the program Regional Development-Oriented Mission Differentiation and Specialization was launched for the universities established after 2006 in order to increase the contributions of universities to the region where they are located and to encourage them to specialize in certain areas.  In the 2016-2017 Academic Opening Ceremony, the President of the Republic was elected by the five pilot universities, including our university. 2. Specialization in Health and Environment

Provincial Council Bogaziçi Gumusova Golyaka Musiad In May 2017 the program was introduced in Düzce city center and in all districts, The regional development model by Traditional and Complementary Medicine was explained. 4. Specialization in Health: Traditional and Complementary Medicine Why Traditional and Complementary Medicine?

Since our university was included in the program, the social, technological, economic and environmental factors of our region and the effects of these factors on the university were examined with internal and external stakeholders.

As a result of the evaluations, the natural resources of Düzce and different plant species were found to be a good source for Traditional and Complementary Medicine.

Furthermore, the fact that our university has an academic staff and an important infrastructure that can start to work in this field has played a role in the selection of this area.

Because of the factors such as active participation of local people in the production of materials to be used in Traditional and Complementary Medicine studies, proximity to the metropolises of Ankara and , low competitiveness in the fields of modern medicine, etc., Traditional and Complementary Medicine is the most appropriate option in the field of health.
