The Rector of the University of Telecommunications and Post Prof. Dr. Miglena Temelkova met with the newly elected Rector of the Thracian University of Edirne Prof. Dr. Mustafa Hatipler. The meeting was attended by the Secretary General of UTP Mrs. Nina Naydenova and the Head of the International Projects and Erasmus Program Department at the Turkish University, Dr. Rifat Gürgendereli.
The two rectors expressed the readiness of both universities to cooperate on European and Erasmus projects. Prof. Temelkova stated that the deepening of the academic exchange between Bulgaria and Turkiye, as well as the development of joint master’s programmes, will be the first steps of the two educational institutions to direct and deepen their partnership.
In 2023, the previous Rector, Prof. Dr. Erhan Tabakoglu, was a guest at UTP and a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed during the official visit. At the meeting in Edirne, the rectors of the Bulgarian and Turkish universities stressed that the foundations for joint work have already been laid and concrete steps are to be taken, from which both educational institutions will undoubtedly benefit.
