In his speech, Dalgar expressed the following; "Our aim is to offer more country and university options to our students and academics. The areas of expertise of our professors should not be limited to the borders of Burdur or Turkey. We now have an academically integrated structure with the world, and access to universal knowledge is the most important step for societal contribution. As scientists, we have responsibilities not only to society but also to humanity. Working in academia should exist not just for individual interests but to serve society. We must carry this responsibility forward together."
