Sakarya University maintains formal, written policies and structured mechanisms for the identification and engagement of local stakeholders. These policies are reflected in the University’s Strategic Plan (2023–2027), which outlines stakeholder mapping, consultation practices, and shared governance principles to ensure inclusive decision-making processes aligned with SDG 16.
During 2024, each academic unit continued to operate with Advisory Boards consisting of representatives from local government, private sector organizations, NGOs, professional chambers, civil society groups, and community partners. These boards contribute to curriculum alignment, regional development cooperation, and institutional planning.
Stakeholder participation is further integrated into the University Quality Assurance System, where internal and external representatives take part in quality monitoring and continuous improvement through the University Quality Commission. Additionally, the Technology Transfer Office (operating under Sakarya Teknokent) facilitates structured collaboration between the university, industry partners, and local development actors. The University also reports its administrative and performance results annually in publicly accessible Activity Reports, demonstrating transparency and accountability.
