BAU CAMPUS: Aiming to Be One of the New Centers for AI Research in Turkey

The topics discussed at the Future AI Summit London directly align with Bahçeşehir University's goals for creating an academic and research infrastructure in the field of artificial intelligence in Turkey. BAU CAMPUS stands out as the new campus positioned in this direction.

BAU CAMPUS aims to become one of the centers for academic studies, research projects, and international collaborations in the fields of artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, and digital technologies. This structure, which offers AI-oriented production areas for academics, researchers, and students, aims to be a center where AI research intensifies and interdisciplinary interaction strengthens in Turkey.

The vision shaped at global gatherings like Future AI Summit London, combined with the academic work conducted at BAU CAMPUS, supports Bahçeşehir University’s goal of becoming a strong reference point both in Turkey and internationally in the field of artificial intelligence.
