Established in 1955, Karadeniz Technical University (KTU), funded by the Government, is an institution where teaching and research are closely integrated with modern infrastructure, advanced laboratories and good field work opportunities. KTU has high academic research personnel conducting high numbers of national and international projects on various fields carried out by both in-house personnel and in cooperation with industry, public and government authorities. Among 17 faculties of KTU, Faculty Marine Sciences (MSF) covers almost all the aspects relating to the Marine Sciences and technology including fisheries technology, aquaculture, ship design and construction, marine transportation and management, and maritime business administration. FMS has established a close link with industry by providing practical knowledge to solve their problems via collaborative projects/training courses and educating engineers. We are working on all aspects of marine science, maritime and naval architecture issues as research and training. In the meantime, cooperation with Ministries to solve regional problems on fisheries, transportation, marine pollution, aquaculture, biodiversity and other local/regional problems are in our major interest. We also pay special attention to social, cultural and historical heritages and resources to increase public awareness of the people living in the Black Sea region. We also involved in stakeholder/brainstorming meetings how to increase welfare of the people by tourism cooperation with the other experts in the University.
