Hosted by the Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality and the Gaziantep Governorship, in cooperation with the Turkic World Children's Foundation, the 8th International Turkic World Science and Culture Festival began with a ceremony held at the Kamil Ocak Sports Hall.
Bringing together students and advisor teachers from different provinces of Turkey and various countries around the world, the organization aims to strengthen scientific and cultural interaction. Within the scope of the three-day festival, projects selected from more than a thousand applications are presented to visitors at 142 stands.
Speaking at the opening, Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Fatma Şahin emphasized that Turkey should be a country that develops and produces technology rather than just consuming it, stating, "We will not be a market, we will produce."
In the event where young people showcase their research, development, and production skills, there are science workshops, talks, and cultural performances in addition to project presentations. The festival will be completed with an award ceremony and closing program to be held on October 28.
