Prof. Dr. Ramazan Bayındır stated that the results of the centre's activities should be made visible via website, social media, e-bulletins, etc. Prof. Dr. Ramazan Bayındır underlined the need to ensure that stakeholders participate in governance processes and emphasized that Central Advisory Boards should be established and external stakeholders should be met at least twice a year.

Deputy Chairman of the Quality Commission Prof. Dr. Ramazan Bayındır said that our centres should fully report the value they add to the Institution in their internal evaluation reports and announce it on their websites with the principle of transparency. Prof. Dr. Ramazan Bayındır thanked the application and research centre managers for their devoted work and support to quality processes despite limited financial and human resources and gave the floor to the Centre Representatives to make their presentations.
