May 19th Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day

We extend our heartfelt invitation to you for an incredible event hosted by ATAS! We're thrilled to invite you to join us in commemorating the May 19th Celebration of Atatürk, Youth, and Sports Day with great enthusiasm. We see this day as more than just a celebration of our collective heritage; it's a chance to shine a spotlight on the exceptional academic prowess within our community through various engaging activities.

During the event, we'll feature a keynote speech titled "From Osman I to Atatürk: the Story of an Empire, the Forging of a Nation" delivered by Dr. Ines Aščerić-Todd, Head of the Department of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies at The University of Edinburgh.

This year, in a special addition, ATAS extends an invitation to all undergraduate, Master’s, and PhD students currently enrolled in Scottish higher education institutions to take part in the 3 Minute Research competition!

Participants will present their research to non-specialist audiences, providing insight into its importance in accessible and engaging language, all within a three-minute timeframe and using a single PowerPoint slide. The 3MR competition offers students the chance to enhance their presentation skills, vital for success in both academic and professional careers.

We are eagerly anticipating your contributions and participation to make this day truly memorable!
