&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Koc University (KU) is located in Istanbul Sariyer, Turkey. It was established in 1993 and has been one of the leading universities in Turkey since its establishment. The university declares its principle mission as: “… to cultivate Turkey’s most competent graduates, well-rounded adults who are internationally qualified; who can think creatively, independently and objectively; and who are confident leaders.”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Student innovation and entrepreneurship is encouraged to a certain extent and mainly focuses on engineering and science areas. The number and variety of innovation and entrepreneurship-related courses and the courses which are not directly related to these concepts but still inspire students are not much. The inspirational events and workshops are usually held by student organizations and clubs such as Entrepreneurship Club, IEEE, ASME, and IES rather than the faculties and administration. The school has a Global Leadership and Learning Program is a certificate program that trains students to live and create 21&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;st&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; century campus experience and be active global citizens. The campus houses [https://kuar.ku.edu.tr/ Koç University Arçelik Research Center for Creative Industries (KUAR)] which does not engage a large number of students in the creative processes but still creates opportunities for a selected group of students.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Koc University Research, Project Development and Technology Transfer Directorate helps the project owners develop business plans. The research infrastructure of the university is open to applications of industrial organisations’ use. The coordinator of this kind of use of university’s resources is RPDTTD and the available research centers for this purpose are: Koc University TÜPRAŞ Energy Center and Koc University Surface Technologies Research Center. KWORKS plays an important role in forming university-industry bonds. Many of our faculty mostly in the engineering department also have companies where they can use their academic activity to be a part of the industry.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#1 &amp;amp;ndash; Enabling our students to better plan and manage their time&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;PROJECT IDEA - KULENDAR:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;A calendar portal where all events in our school along with class times, deadlines and exams can be seen.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Problem:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Student Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;There are too many events in our school which makes it very hard to keep track.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Only common ground for promoting events are through email, which leads to many people getting emails that do not relate to them, thus missing the events that they would like to attend&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Students cannot plan the events they would like to attend ahead of time.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Students have a hard time keeping track of their deadlines for different courses.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;School Administration and Student Clubs Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Many departments do not have the prior data about student&amp;amp;rsquo;s vacant times to better plan their events.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Club activities department lose a lot of time sending club activities mails that can be easily automated&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Progress:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connections with IT Department established&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Kick off meeting where use cases and MVP will be planned is set.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Team recruiting efforts have begun.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kulendar.png|thumb|KULendar prototype]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#2 &amp;amp;ndash; Facilitating the feedback mechanisms and making our voice heard in school management&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;PROJECT IDEA - KUForum:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;A forum where students can ask their questions in categories and get answers that can be upvoted and post their complaints to the complaints board which will also move up as more people support the issue.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Problem:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Student Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Lack of questionnaires directed to students or examination of the problem before critical decisions by the school management&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Lack of efficient representation of student voice in decision making process&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inefficient complaint resolving systems&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inability to reach answers of previously asked common problems&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;School Administration Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inability to identify who and how many people suffer from issues.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inability to get agile feedback&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Difficulty of identifying most critical problems&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Recurring mails from students which are usually sent to unrelated people&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Progress:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connections with IT Department and Student Dean established&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Mechanisms of student complaints or questions being resolved is currently being defined.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;IT Support for hosting and customization of digital solutions has been promised&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#3 &amp;amp;ndash; Helping students to reach an international network&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Online International workshops in different areas such as sustainability, design thinking etc. coordinated with other UIF Fellows with the help of research centers in our school&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Problem:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;The question that comes with online education of whether the university education is necessary while you can learn things from online education platforms at the fraction of the cost.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;In response to this problem, we want to help our schools&amp;amp;rsquo; students to retain the network opportunity that universities provide by using the advantages of the online era and our connections with UIF.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;There is this an urgent need for creative people coming from different disciplines to get to know each other and somehow interact.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;PROJECT #1 - Slack -&amp;amp;nbsp;November 2017&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Properly designed Slack group for entrepreneurial needs, inspiring articles, event announcements, feedback requests&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Can be integrated to the website&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;For a more individualized, interest-based communication platform&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#3 -&amp;amp;nbsp;Redesigning the ineffective indoor and outdoor spaces in the campus to facilitate productive co-working, creative&amp;amp;nbsp;socializing, and wellbeing.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;For a spatially limited campus (meaning there are no free spaces around the campus to enlarge the area) efficiency of currently used areas are highly important for a comfortable, creative student life.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Heart of the campus has the worst indoor design.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Furnitures are terribly old and dull, not allowing comfortable eating, working in groups and even having a enjoyable coffee break.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Sound isolation is terrible.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;There are no sockets.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Even it is a large are at the heart of the school, it is not facilitated for workshops, artistic events.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Interior decoration is not inspiring.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;#6 -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Designing and building a creative space that will allow multi-disciplinary collaboration, 7/24 co-working, organizing workshops,&amp;amp;nbsp;hosting maker projects, incubating student startups, intersecting with related courses for alternative educative methodologies.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#1 &amp;amp;ndash; Enabling our students to better plan and manage their time&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;PROJECT IDEA - KULENDAR:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;A calendar portal where all events in our school along with class times, deadlines and exams can be seen.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Problem:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Student Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;There are too many events in our school which makes it very hard to keep track.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Only common ground for promoting events are through email, which leads to many people getting emails that do not relate to them, thus missing the events that they would like to attend&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Students cannot plan the events they would like to attend ahead of time.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Students have a hard time keeping track of their deadlines for different courses.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;School Administration and Student Clubs Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Many departments do not have the prior data about student&amp;amp;rsquo;s vacant times to better plan their events.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Club activities department lose a lot of time sending club activities mails that can be easily automated&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Progress:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connections with IT Department established&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Kick off meeting where use cases and MVP will be planned is set.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Team recruiting efforts have begun.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kulendar.png|thumb|KULendar prototype]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#2 &amp;amp;ndash; Facilitating the feedback mechanisms and making our voice heard in school management&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;PROJECT IDEA - KUForum:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;A forum where students can ask their questions in categories and get answers that can be upvoted and post their complaints to the complaints board which will also move up as more people support the issue.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Problem:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Student Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Lack of questionnaires directed to students or examination of the problem before critical decisions by the school management&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Lack of efficient representation of student voice in decision making process&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inefficient complaint resolving systems&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inability to reach answers of previously asked common problems&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;School Administration Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inability to identify who and how many people suffer from issues.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inability to get agile feedback&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Difficulty of identifying most critical problems&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Recurring mails from students which are usually sent to unrelated people&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Progress:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connections with IT Department and Student Dean established&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Mechanisms of student complaints or questions being resolved is currently being defined.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;IT Support for hosting and customization of digital solutions has been promised&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#3 &amp;amp;ndash; Helping students to reach an international network&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Online International workshops in different areas such as sustainability, design thinking etc. coordinated with other UIF Fellows with the help of research centers in our school&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Problem:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;The question that comes with online education of whether the university education is necessary while you can learn things from online education platforms at the fraction of the cost.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;In response to this problem, we want to help our schools&amp;amp;rsquo; students to retain the network opportunity that universities provide by using the advantages of the online era and our connections with UIF.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Student: I am interested in entrepreneurship, but I do not know if I am a good fit. I do not know where to start.&amp;amp;nbsp;'&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Where should I start entrepreneurship or design at Koc?&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Platform: You can start with this article from Steve Blank. How to Start a Startup Series are a very good source for getting to know what entrepreneurship really means? In Koc, you can take MGMT 411 and 412. Our university is also affiliated with KWORKS, an incubation center. There are also MAVA courses that introduce design thinking project mindset that is very helpful and related to starting a new venture. You can check MAVA 205. If you are also interested in social issues, you should check MAVA 420 and MGMT 311. Imece and Impact Hub are Istanbul-based social entrepreneurship hubs, you should look at their websites too.&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#2 - Initiating, sustaining, and&amp;amp;nbsp;developing a multi-disciplinary creative network.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;There is this an urgent need for creative people coming from different disciplines to get to know each other and somehow interact.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;PROJECT #1 - Slack -&amp;amp;nbsp;November 2017&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Properly designed Slack group for entrepreneurial needs, inspiring articles, event announcements, feedback requests&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;PROJECT #2 - Creative Newsletter&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Can be integrated to the website&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;For a more individualized, interest-based communication platform&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#3 -&amp;amp;nbsp;Redesigning the ineffective indoor and outdoor spaces in the campus to facilitate productive co-working, creative&amp;amp;nbsp;socializing, and wellbeing.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Furnitures are terribly old and dull, not allowing comfortable eating, working in groups and even having a enjoyable coffee break.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Sound isolation is terrible.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;There are no sockets.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Even it is a large are at the heart of the school, it is not facilitated for workshops, artistic events.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Interior decoration is not inspiring.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;SIQ that measures each student&amp;amp;rsquo;s impact on his community, campus and environment.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#5 - Facilitating online &amp;amp;amp; offline intersections for the curriculum with new e-learning technologies, platforms, organizations.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;#6 -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Designing and building a creative space that will allow multi-disciplinary collaboration, 7/24 co-working, organizing workshops,&amp;amp;nbsp;hosting maker projects, incubating student startups, intersecting with related courses for alternative educative methodologies.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;STRATEGIC PRIORITIES by 2020 Cohort&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#1 &amp;amp;ndash; Enabling our students to better plan and manage their time&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;PROJECT IDEA - KULENDAR:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;A calendar portal where all events in our school along with class times, deadlines and exams can be seen.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Problem:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Student Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;There are too many events in our school which makes it very hard to keep track.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Only common ground for promoting events are through email, which leads to many people getting emails that do not relate to them, thus missing the events that they would like to attend&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Students cannot plan the events they would like to attend ahead of time.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Students have a hard time keeping track of their deadlines for different courses.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;School Administration and Student Clubs Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Many departments do not have the prior data about student&amp;amp;rsquo;s vacant times to better plan their events.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Club activities department lose a lot of time sending club activities mails that can be easily automated&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Progress:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connections with IT Department established&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Kick off meeting where use cases and MVP will be planned is set.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Team recruiting efforts have begun.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kulendar.png|thumb|KULendar prototype]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#2 &amp;amp;ndash; Facilitating the feedback mechanisms and making our voice heard in school management&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;PROJECT IDEA - KUForum:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;A forum where students can ask their questions in categories and get answers that can be upvoted and post their complaints to the complaints board which will also move up as more people support the issue.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Problem:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Student Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Lack of questionnaires directed to students or examination of the problem before critical decisions by the school management&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Lack of efficient representation of student voice in decision making process&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inefficient complaint resolving systems&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inability to reach answers of previously asked common problems&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;School Administration Side:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inability to identify who and how many people suffer from issues.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Inability to get agile feedback&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Difficulty of identifying most critical problems&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Recurring mails from students which are usually sent to unrelated people&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Progress:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Connections with IT Department and Student Dean established&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Mechanisms of student complaints or questions being resolved is currently being defined.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;IT Support for hosting and customization of digital solutions has been promised&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#3 &amp;amp;ndash; Helping students to reach an international network&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Online International workshops in different areas such as sustainability, design thinking etc. coordinated with other UIF Fellows with the help of research centers in our school&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Problem:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;The question that comes with online education of whether the university education is necessary while you can learn things from online education platforms at the fraction of the cost.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;In response to this problem, we want to help our schools&amp;amp;rsquo; students to retain the network opportunity that universities provide by using the advantages of the online era and our connections with UIF.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;#5 &amp;amp;ndash; Informing students about the Innovation &amp;amp;amp; Entrepreneurship opportunities in our school&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;There is this an urgent need for creative people coming from different disciplines to get to know each other and somehow interact.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Koc University.jpg]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''OVERVIEW'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Koc University (KU) is located in Istanbul Sariyer, Turkey. It was established in 1993 and has been one of the leading universities in Turkey since its establishment. The university declares its principle mission as: “… to cultivate Turkey’s most competent graduates, well-rounded adults who are internationally qualified; who can think creatively, independently and objectively; and who are confident leaders.”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Student innovation and entrepreneurship is encouraged to a certain extent and mainly focuses on engineering and science areas. The number and variety of innovation and entrepreneurship related courses and the courses which are not directly related to these concepts but still inspire students are not much. The inspirational events and workshops are usually held by student organisations and clubs such as Entrepreneurship Club, IEEE, ASME and IES rather than the faculties and administration. The school has Global Leadership and Learning Program is a certificate program that trains students to live and create 21&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;st&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; century campus experience and be active global citizens. The campus houses Koç University Arçelik Research Center for Creative Industries (KUAR) which does not engage a large number students in the creative processes but still creates opportunities for a selected group of students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The faculty members are highly encouraged on being innovative since the main focus of the university is being a leader in research field in Turkey and in the world. The research labs are funded generously and the best academicians of the country are invited to the university. Many of these labs, especially engineering and science labs, get patents for the new concepts and products that they produce. In terms of encouraging entrepreneurship in the faculty level, KUAR and KWORKS Entrepreneurship Research Center (former Koc University Incubation Center) are available for application and support.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''ACTIVELY SUPPORTING THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FUNCTION'''&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Koc University Research, Project Development and Technology Transfer Directorate (RPDTTD), which was founded in 2009, provides university-industry collaboration opportunities, research support services, technology transfer and research center and laboratories. They provide legal advice and project managementfor granted projects. They offer help in patent and licence application processes, direct the entrepreneurs to the KWORKS Incubation Center. The directorate has connections with the 17 research centers, 5 research forums and 1 support center of Koc University and they ensure the connection and communication between them and researchers in Koc University.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''FACILITATING UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION'''&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Koc University Research, Project Development and Technology Transfer Directorate helps the project owners develop business plans. The research infrastructure of the university is open to applications of industrial organisations’ use. The coordinator of this kind of use of university’s resources is RPDTTD and the available research centers for this purpose are: Koc University TÜPRAŞ Energy Center and Koc University Surface Technologies Research Center. On the other side, the school is quite insufficient in bringing students’ and faculty members’ entrepreneurial ideas together with industry. The only channel for this purpose is, again, KWORKS.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Koc University university does not have an economic development office. The efforts to engage with regional and local economic development are deficient. The only departments that can be related to these matters are KWORKS and KUAR.&lt;br /&gt;

The idea of doing &amp;quot;Tunnel&amp;quot;s is a really effective way in order to show what people feeling outside of the circle feel like, check out the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UNdTWMdTAk 3 min video] on the resource page!&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
