| Mediterranean Researchers’ Night (MEDNIGHT) aims to strengthen regional cooperation by bringing together distinguished scientists and academic institutions from countries bordering the Mediterranean every year. In this context, the results of the Mediterranean Science Team 2025 and MU-GEP (Mediterranean Universities Gender Equality Pioneers) announced highlight the achievements of researchers who stand out especially in sustainability and equality. One of the names that made a big splash by entering the list this year was Prof. Dr. Beraat Özçelik from Istanbul Technical University. Working in the field of food science and nutrition, Özçelik is known for her innovative research on functional foods and nutraceuticals. Özçelik, who contributes to the prevention of chronic diseases and the spread of a healthy lifestyle culture by integrating natural bioactive components into foods, was awarded with the praise of the MEDNIGHT jury members. This success reinforces ITU’s strong position in the international arena and provides an important source of inspiration for young researchers. We congratulate our faculty member and wish her continued success. |
