Gursey Institute has been a singular achievement of the region. IPM – Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences and Sharif University

I have just got information that Feza Gursey Institute will be closed. In the present letter, I shall try to explain, how unfortunate this decision is. I am a Polish scientist but my relations with Turkish mathematicians are quite close: … Continue reading →

Istanbul deserves to have its own theoretical physics institute, and not just an isolated team of theorists choked within an applied science institute. CNRS researcher CPhT Polytechnique, CNRS

This move would be very unfortunately for science in Turkey and I also do not understand the logic. Turkey just joined CERN, and what sense does it make to simultaneously undercut this effort by reducing the support for particle physics … Continue reading →

It is disheartening that, just at a time when Turkey is aspiring to become a full member of CERN (a development strongly supported by the European scientific community), TUBITAK decides essentially to cancel the only international research center devoted to … Continue reading →

The Institute serves a unique role in enhancing Science not only in Turkey but the whole area. It is unique in fostering international collaboration involving scientist from different parts of the world. It served as a beacon of Theoretical Science … Continue reading →

I think an institution as the Gursey Institute offers excellent scientific opportunities for Turkey and for the region. I do not have sufficient insight in the motives behind the plan to close the Gursey Institute. It is hard to see … Continue reading →

It is of paramount importance that Fundamental Science and all institutes serving it must be kept alive for the progress and prosperity of the humanity. Athanasios Lahanas Athens University, Physics Department

Dear colleagues, I am writing in relation to the proposed decision of TUBITAK to dissolve FGI and merge it (as a small sub-division) to the National Cryptology and Information Security Institute located in Gebze, a small industrial town close to … Continue reading →

Dear My Excellencies, Dear Friends, Feza Gürsey Institute is a Center-of-Excellence and represents a high future potential both in academical-research sense and in educational-social sense. When I was invited there, by Dr. Kursat Aker, I learned to know its mathematics … Continue reading →

Feza Gursey was a world renowned scholar and a colleague of mine at Yale where he held the prestigious Josiah Willard Gibbs Professorship. He inspired a whole generation of physicists, many of them from Turkey. He was a role model … Continue reading →
