Prof. Dr. Nevzat Simsek, Rector of Fatih Sultan Mehmet Vakif University (FSMVU), hosted Mr. Francisco Marmolejo, President of Higher Education at Qatar Foundation (QF), today at the Rectorate of FSMVU’s Topkapi Campus. The meeting was brief yet comprehensive, focusing on the development and strengthening of international collaborations. A review of previous engagements since the beginning of the year was conducted, and new areas of mutual interest were identified, particularly in academic and research domains. Both sides agreed to continue consultations to expand cooperation and explore innovative partnership opportunities.

Following the meeting, FSMVU arranged a cultural visit for Mr. Marmolejo and his family. They were welcomed at FSMVU’s Hagia Sophia Madrasa Campus, which reflects the university’s historical connection with this iconic site, providing an opportunity to introduce the academic and cultural dimensions of this heritage. The visit stood as a meaningful occasion, demonstrating FSMVU’s commitment both to preserving historical values and to fostering international academic collaborations.
