= '''STUDENT PRIORITIES COHORT 2020''' =

== '''STRATEGY #1: TRAINING MORE ENTREPRENEURS''' ==

=== Project: Training BUnnovation ===

'''''Person in Charge:''''' Osman Oğuz Nuhoğlu

=== Project Details ===

In our school, there is a lack of theoretical education on innovation and entrepreneurship.

This project aims to improve students' knowledge of innovation and entrepreneurship. There will be classes (seminars) every week. Different instructors from different fields will teach a lesson about that week's topic. For example, a professor of psychology will explain the mindset of an entrepreneur or there will be an affective presentation conference from the human resources department.

We will also create a community from this program. This program may be integrated with another program in our school (Fire Up program). That is, this program may be the prerequisite of Fire Up program. This program will require a selection of students because there are a lot of students interested in entrepreneurship and innovation in Boğaziçi University.

== '''STRATEGY #2: Improving Social Innovation Ecosystem ''' ==

=== Project: BUmpact ===

'''''Person in Charge:''''' Zişan Özdemir

=== Project Details ===

Social innovation is a wide range concept which covers the environmental, economic and social topics and is one of the concepts thrown out of focus in our university. There is no unity at that point, entities are working separately and students are not informed and involved enough.

BUmpact is an social innovation community which brings the relevant entities and interested students and faculty members together. It's a medium for those to brainstorm and collaborate. The aim is also to make people aware and make them motivated to take part in solving global issues. Within the scope of BUmpact, there will be also sub-communities (like working groups) focusing on different SDG groups.

* Poverty Eradication
* Food Security / Sustainable Agriculture
* Water and Sanitation
* Employment, Decent Work and Social Protection
* Youth and Education
* Health and Population Dynamics
* Sustained and Inclusive Economic Growth
* Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change (e.g.Renewable energy, responsible consumption and production)
* Human Rights
* Reduced Inequalities (social equality, gender equality and women rights)
* Policy and Governance
* Sustainable Cities and Transportation

== '''STRATEGY #1: IMPROVING SOCIAL INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM''' ==

=== Project: Bright Pitching Day ===

'''''Person in Charge:''''' Berkay Kani

=== Project Details ===

One of the biggest problems of the students in our school is to hesitate to express their ideas. This is because people despise them or steal their ideas. As people with the entrepreneurship mindset, we believe that sharing will always strengthen ideas.

I designed the Pitching Day event for this. There will be 5 teams, audince and 3 successful juries. We will share an application form for selection of teams using our communication channels. For the event, 3 successful startup co-founders will be contacted and asked to be a jury. The event will be advertised for participants from our communication channels. The event will be in the center's office on our main campus. There will be a 30-minute networking session before the event starts. Here, the owners, the participants and the juries will have the chance to meet. Idea owners will write the type of people they need on a whiteboard. There will be a 5 minute presentation and 5 minute question and answer session in front of the juries. After the presentations are over, participants will be able to talk to them to join their teams.

We will provide office and entrepreneurship training to the 2 winning teams.

== '''STRATEGY #2: CREATING FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELECTED STARTUPS''' ==

=== Project: Bright Demo Day ===

'''''Person in Charge:''''' Berkay Kani

=== Project Details ===

Entrepreneurs often face financial problems while expanding their startups. In some times, things cannot be done and solved without money.

Teams selected to work in our incubation center are also experiencing this problem. So I designed the Bright Demo Day event to solve the investment problem of these startups. At this event, there will be teams who selected in Pitching Day and who completed entrepreneurship training in our incubation center. Using the network of Entrepreneurship Center, 3 seed investors will be contacted and offered to be a jury in the event. Then 5 teams will be selected to make presentations in front of the investors. The teams will tell the investors their products, ask for a certain amount of investment and try to convince the investors to make this investment. In fact, the event is similar to the Shark Tank event. Teams that can convince investors will receive investment and will have the opportunity to grow their startups further.

== '''STRATEGY #3: TRAINING MORE ENTREPRENEURS''' ==

=== Project: Bright Experience ===

'''''Person in Charge:''''' Fatih Gözükara

=== Project Details ===

There is too much event on entrepreneurship but not enough entrepreneurs. In order to train more entrepreneurs, we need to work more to the point than general events. For this, we have designed an experience-oriented, beginning-to-end process that will have a good story for all of us at the end of the day.

=== BRIGHT EXPERIENCE ===
<div><br/></div><div>'''Bright Talks (Hello World)'''</div><div><br/></div><div>First of all, there will be a series of speeches where entrepreneurs can find answers to our questions such as what is entrepreneurship, what is not, what is the place of what we call the entrepreneurship ecosystem, how an entrepreneur's life progresses, what challenges and opportunities await those who want to become entrepreneurs. An entrepreneur and an investor will be invited to these events in order to appeal to the entrepreneurs who already have an enterprise, if possible, the enterprises will be from the enterprises that have invested, and the investor will be the investors of this enterprise.</div><div><br/></div><div>'''Bright Learns (We Learn to Walk)'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Trainings on problem solving methods and tools such as Design Thinking, which are used in the process of producing innovative solutions to problems, will be organized. Additionaly, these trainings include project management, marketing, brand building and so on. Processes will be supported by additional trainings on which we can improve ourselves.</div><div><br/></div><div>'''Bright Works (Walking, Sometimes Running)'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Until now, we have heard and learned many things about entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity. We will do some work to practice what we have learned. First of all, we will organize case studies with startups in the incubation center. (We can invite external startup.) We will try to find solutions to their problems. In this way, we will not only support the startups of our school and we will be familiar with them, but also will be working on concrete works and practicing and increasing our knowledge on this subject.</div><div><br/></div><div>In the second stage, companies will be asked for projects which are open to innovation. We will be working on these projects as a team work in the form of long-term projects or pop-up workshops. Here we will both have seen real business and will learn a lot from their experience as we will work with companies.</div><div><br/></div><div>'''Bright Wins (We're Dancing or Something Like That)'''</div><div><br/></div><div>As it will work with companies in this process, various opportunities such as global awards, internship opportunities in innovation-oriented units in the companies, and tasks that can be taken in startups can be created according to the scope of the projects. We will be working on that part. We may be open to surprises.</div><div><br/></div><div>Better yet, maybe one of us will start their own startups in the process.</div><div><br/></div><div>
== '''STRATEGY #4: SOLVING PROBLEMS THAT DISCOURAGES PEOPLE TO BE ENTERPRENEUR''' ==

=== Project: Design Thinking Workshop ===

'''''Person in Charge:''''' Elanur Gayıp

=== Project Details ===
</div><div>There are many factors preventing the development of initiatives at Boğaziçi University.Unnecessary restraint of many places that enable students to work, high student population, high student quota,the lack of financial means of the school, the lack of environment that allows students to be creative.</div><div> As Bright team, we tried to understand the Campus problems at Boğaziçi University by using the Design Thinking method with the support of Turkcell Arıkovanı and our team of 10 people and we started this way with our the Design the Campus project. </div><div>Our aim was to create a small butterfly effect and raise awareness on the one hand.  The students also had the opportunity to realize their ideas.  As a result of the studies, ideas about the development of the campus were formed by the students.  At the end of the first session, they started to think about the needs of the students and their solutions with insight surveys.  Many prototypes have emerged with the support of sustainability and social impact approach to Turkcell Arıkovanı's ideas.  Our students' self-confidence was more fulfilled and they began to use this methodology used by world-renowned companies.</div><div> </div><div>Design thinking, which stands out with its increasing popularity, prepares the ground for the emergence of creative ideas as a methodological approach based on human beings, which enables them to be further developed through prototyping workshops.  All these efforts and the systematic of innovative thinking create an impact that shakes people's stereotyped thinking patterns.  It is not easy to shake and change the thought patterns that have settled over the years and solidified with experience.  Design-oriented thinking avoids the possibility of preventing these patterns from finding new ways and creating new solutions.  Thinking outside of the patterns for innovative problem solving can be achieved.</div><div><br/></div>

=== HISTORY ===
[[File:BOUN Founders.jpg|thumb|right|Founders of Bogazici University]]
<div><br/></div><div>Boğaziçi University was founded in Istanbul,Turkey as Robert College in 1863 by Dr.Cyrus Hamlin,an educator, inventor, technician, architect and builder, and Mr. Christopher Rheinlander Robert, a well-known philanthropist and a wealthy merchant from New York. In March 1971, Rector John Scott Everton revealed the resolution passed on January 26, 1971, by the Board of Trustees to the effect that the Turkish government should be encouraged to establish an independent university as a successor to Robert College on either of the campuses. The merger was finalized in the summer of 1971. Today's South Campus of 118 acres, including buildings, the library, laboratories and all facilities and personnel, was passed on to the Turkish government, and on September 10, 1971, Bogazici University was officially established on what had been the Robert College campus for over one hundred years.</div><div><br/></div>

=== OVERVIEW ===

'''Vision'''

Boğaziçi University’s mission also encompasses producing universal thought, science, and technology in service of humanity, and playing a pioneering role in encouraging the spread of science, culture, and the arts throughout society.</div><div><br/></div>

=== PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP ===
[[File:5bea6e3f2a8962.jpg|thumb|right|Bogazici Technopark]]
[[File:Ekran Resmi 2020-09-18 14.59.03.png|thumb|right|DreamBU]]
<div><br/></div><div>In our university, promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship is on development stage. Turkey has a common belief of buildign your own company is a risk which is not necessary to take. Being an engineer is more valuable and meaningful than being an entrepreneur. But our university is more supportive to students to become entrepreneurs and according to the number of people who becomes successful entrepreneurs, Boğaziçi University is on the top. There is a real effort to give students entrepreneurial mindset through Bright Entrepreneurship & Innovation Incubation Center, entrepreneurship committees of student clubs and Technology Transfer Office. There are lots of successful entrepreneurs in the entrepreneurship ecosystem from Boğaziçi University. </div><div><br/></div>

=== ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP ===
<div><br/></div><div>Faculty members of our university are most likely to be supportive on having entrepreneurial mind and being innovative as seen that most of the successful entrepreneurs in the entrepreneurship ecosystem are from Boğaziçi University. Although the opportunities of the school on entrepreneurship is questionable, every year lots of student startups are built. There are several courses on entrepreneurship and innovation in certain departments but students from all departments are accepted via a consent from instructor. Bright Entrepreneurship & Innovation Incubation Center is built in 2016 and every year new startups join the center. </div>
=== ACTIVELY SUPPORTING THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FUNCTION  ===
<div><br/></div><div>Boğaziçi University Technology Transfer Office's main goal is to convert business ideas into real startups with the help of TUBITAK Dream Bigg programme. They provide a high range of industrial network, professional mentorships, funding opportunities and coworking spaces provided by TTO's partner Bright Incubation Center. They do not only help social innovations but also student's high tech projects. They help getting patent and licence processes to BOUN students who own a business idea. They offer education on setting up a company and funding opportunities, and work with academicians and students who'll set up a company.</div><div><br/></div>
=== FACILITATING UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION ===
[[File:Unnamed-13.jpg|thumb|right|BUMED (Alumni Center)]]
<div><br/></div><div>Boğaziçi University is in deep connection with the biggest startups in entrepreneurship ecosystem. Other than funding opportunities of TTO, because of the network of Bright, crowdfunding is a common method in Boğaziçi University. Prominent business people of Turkey who are BOUN graduates, always replies when a startup needs funding. It may not seem sustainable but far now it's working properly. Bright Entrepreneurship Center is now developing new and more systematic funding ways for startups. There is also another channel which connects industry and school, BUMED. It is Boğaziçi University Alumni Society which brings students and alumnis together for several purposes which are mentorship, funding etc.</div><div><br/></div>

=== ENGAGING WITH REGIONAL AND LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS ===
<div><br/></div><div>Boğaziçi University doesn't have a direct effort of engaging local economic development. Indirectly speaking, the university has its incubation center, teknopark and technology transfer office. Those departments can be thought as such efforts.</div><div><br/></div>
