Graduate School of Informatics

Dear Faculty Members and Students,

In accordance with the decision of the Middle East Technical University Senate dated 11 November 2025, it has been resolved that candidates applying to graduate programs who, as of the date of application, fall within the last four semesters:

a. have graduated from an undergraduate or graduate program of our University, or
b. have held student status for at least one semester in one of our University’s graduate programs, provided that they meet the EPE score specified by the relevant Graduate School of the program to which they are applying,

will not be required to re-submit documentation of their English proficiency.

Kind regards,

Dear Members of the Graduate School of Informatics,

6th Open Research Day (ORD) of the Graduate School of Informatics will be held on 12 November 2025, Wednesday. This year’s ORD will be jointly organized with the opening ceremony of the Cisco Cyber Security Laboratory. Please note the important dates below and fill in the brief form to secure your place at this event. A detailed program will be shared later.

The aim of the Open Research Day is to get familiar with the research topics across the departments, to create new interdisciplinary collaborations, and to encourage students and research assistants to present their work before their thesis defense or conference presentations. The submitted studies will not appear in a printed proceedings volume, and no copyright will be claimed. Therefore, we solicit contributions that are:

· Titles of already published work related to any field in informatics sciences (e.g. publications based on thesis work). 

· These will not require the approval of the advisor, but the title will be used to determine the program. 

· Please make sure you reference the original paper the submission is based on.

· Original, unpublished work and work in progress. 

· We do not claim copyright. 

· These will require the approval of the advisor for graduate students.

· Any research topics/projects the project coordinators would like to present as a poster.

We kindly invite you to submit a title by the end of the deadline below and bring your poster to the Open Research Day. The poster stands are 110 x 90 cm and have a vertical/portrait orientation.

Posters will be evaluated for awards in different categories. Awardees will be able to present their work again in 5-10 minutes at a separate awards ceremony.
