The Integrated Quality Management System (IQMS), developed by Kırşehir Ahi Evran University and widely implemented in higher education institutions across Türkiye, has now reached its 20th university. In this context, IQMS Training was successfully conducted at Yeditepe University on June 26, 2025, and at Beykoz University on June 27, 2025. The training programs were attended by Rector of KAEU Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kasım Karahocagil, Yeditepe University Prof. Dr. Mehmet Durman, Rector of Beykoz University Prof. Dr. Burak Küntay, Vice Rector of KAEU Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Şimşek, IQMS Executive Board Member Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatih Yaman, Deputy Quality Coordinator Ekrem Öztürk, and numerous academic and administrative staff from the universities receiving training.

Today, the Integrated Quality Management System (IQMS), developed by Kırşehir Ahi Evran University and currently used by more than 20 universities and the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), is an integrated software system designed to digitalize quality assurance processes. IQMS is a comprehensive management tool that also has the potential to serve as a model for public institutions and the private sector.

Rector of KAEU Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kasım Karahocagil made the following statement regarding the universities receiving training: “Quality is no longer merely an obligation for higher education institutions, but a matter of culture and transformation. The IQMS, which we developed inspired by the values of Ahi-Order, is a structure that instills institutional self-confidence through the principles of ethics, transparency, and collaborative production. Our goal is to build strong and sustainable universities not through documents, but through internalized practices.”
