RESEARCH CENTER SHOULD BE INSTALLED
Speaking at the signing ceremony of the cooperation protocol, Çetin Nuhoğlu said,, Today, as UND, we are really happy for our sector. I have been making efforts to develop university-sector collaborations for many years. As UND, we have given important struggles to gain the first vocational college in the sector. With the investment of 4,5 trillion by the numbers of that day, we opened the first school of transportation and logistics within Istanbul University. But over time, the spread of these sections across the country is far above what we expected. However, we still find it very difficult to achieve our expectation that our other expectation is, to provide our sector with competent, qualified, theoretical knowledge and sectoral practice ati. The curriculum is incredibly different from each other. A standardization could not be achieved. With the Road Transport Law published in 2003, we have transferred the 95 of the EU's sectoral legislation to our own legislation. Now, our managers have to meet certain criteria to be accepted in this sector and they must pass the exam. In line with these developments, we foresee further development of sectoral competencies. But in Greece, 3 has a logistics research center on 30 in Germany, while in our country, a research center has not yet been established in which we will produce projects in the field of Logistics.

Turkey from east to west, north to south, with the potential to offer significant advantages to the junction position. Logistics is a sector that will make great contributions to the development of other sectors. We have been working closely with our Istanbul Chamber of Commerce for many years to develop this sector, especially within the sectoral assemblies. I would like to thank to our Rector for our sector and for myself. Next year 40. We believe that our association, which has been prepared to celebrate the anniversary of the company, will gain significant gains for the sector with a team that has such correct perspectives and makes accurate determinations lam.
