Sakarya University contributes to social development and effective public governance by providing education, skills training, and capacity-building programs to policymakers, public administrators, municipal institutions, and law enforcement personnel. These activities align with SDG 16’s emphasis on inclusive, accountable, and evidence-based governance.
The Sakarya University Continuing Education Center (SÜSEM) plays a key role in delivering lifelong learning and postgraduate-level training for policy and law makers on topics such as economy, law, technology, migration, cybersecurity, climate change, and sustainable development. In addition to SÜSEM, various faculties and research centers hosted expert-led seminars, workshops, public administration training modules, legal awareness programs, human rights education, and digital transformation courses throughout the 2024 calendar year.
Through collaboration with local and regional government institutions, municipalities, provincial directorates, civil society organizations, and public-service agencies, the University provided professional development and administrative capacity strengthening, supporting more effective and informed public-sector decision-making. These partnership-based initiatives improved the use of evidence-based governance practices and enhanced cooperation between academia and public institutions.
The Technology Transfer Office within Sakarya Teknokent further facilitated structured knowledge exchange and consultancy support for public institutions, particularly in innovation policy, economic development strategies, and applied technological solutions.
All relevant education and capacity-building activities are publicly documented in the University’s Annual Administrative Activity Reports, providing verifiable evidence of continuous implementation in 2024, and demonstrating the University's sustained contribution to institutional resilience and effective public governance.
