On June 13, 2025, Bilkent University Faculty of Business Administration had the pleasure of hosting the 2025 KOSB (Koç–Özyeğin–Sabancı–Bilkent) Inter-University Management Conference.
The event brought together 32 faculty members and MS/PhD students from Koç University, Özyeğin University, Sabancı University, and Bilkent University for a full day of academic exchange and collaboration. Throughout the day, eight research seminars provided participants with the opportunity to present ongoing work, exchange ideas, and engage in stimulating discussions across different areas of management research. We were also delighted to welcome Prof. Murat Tarakçı, Associate Editor at the Academy of Management Journal, who delivered an insightful seminar based on his research and contributed to the discussions throughout the event.
Following the academic sessions, participants were hosted for lunch at the İhsan and Ayser Doğramacı Science, Culture & Arts Center, followed by a guided tour of the center.
We are grateful to our Rector, Prof. Dr. Kürşat Aydoğan, and our Dean, Prof. Selim Aktürk, for their valuable support in making this event possible. A special thank-you goes to Prof. Murat Tarakçı for joining us and sharing his research and insights with our academic community.
It was a pleasure to bring together colleagues and graduate students from four universities for a day of meaningful discussions, new connections, and academic collaboration.
