Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU), Faculty of Fine Arts (FFA), Department of Radio, Television and Cinema attaches importance to external stakeholder relations in order to strengthen the relationship between the academy and the sector and to reduce the distance between the two fields. In this sense, protocols with departmental external stakeholders are constantly renewed and routine meetings are held with external stakeholders every year; feedback is received from external stakeholders regarding the department's functioning. Event and organization plans are carried out with departmental external stakeholders, and students are supported through external stakeholders in their internship and post-graduation job finding processes.
One of the important external stakeholder relations of the Department of Radio, Television and Cinema is the relationship it has established with Kadraj Yapım. As one of the leading production companies in the sector, Kadraj Yapım successfully carries out works in the production and post-production stages of many series and films.
“The department’s organizations such as symposiums and festivals provide a direct advantage”
The external stakeholder meeting between the Radio Television and Cinema Department and Kadraj Yapım was held in the meeting room of the Faculty of Fine Arts. The meeting was attended by Kadraj Yapım founder Hasan Köroğlu, Radio Television and Cinema Department Chair of Department Asst. Prof. Emre Doğan and department research assistants Eda Türkay and Okan Kırbacı.
At the meeting, Asst. Prof. Emre Doğan talked about the department’s new planning and operation and requested feedback. Doğan mentioned the TÜBİTAK 3501 project, which the department is preparing for, and mentioned that if the project is accepted, sectoral support will be needed. Kadraj Yapım founder Hasan Köroğlu shared his ideas about the project and stated that Kadraj Yapım could support the meetings to be held in the sector. Noting that the department is active with events such as symposiums and festivals as a plus since they are heard in the sector, Köroğlu stated that promotional activities can be increased. The compatibility of the department curriculum with the sector, the gain of the program outcomes to the graduate students and whether these gains find a response in the sector were mentioned; evaluations were made on the potential of our students who are doing their internships and working at Kadraj Yapım. The meeting ended after the new term event planning was made.
We thank Mr. Hasan Köroğlu for his participation.
