INTRODUCTION
This catalog contains a short introduction to Erciyes University's faculties, departments and centers
which wish to carry out national and international joint research.
Erciyes University (ERU) was founded in 1978 under the name of Kayseri University. The Gevher Nesibe
Medical Faculty, which was opened as an affiliate of Hacettepe University, Ankara, in 1969 and the
Kayseri Business Administration Faculty, founded in 1977, constituted the nucleus of ERU. The other two
higher education institutes, the Theology Institute, founded in 1967, and Kayseri State Higher Education
Academy, founded in 1977, were incorporated into the university as the Faculty of Theology and the
Faculty of Engineering, respectively, in 1982 when its name changed to Erciyes University. The name of
the university was inspired by Mount Erciyes, which lies 15 kilometers to the south-west of the university
and is 3,917 meters high. The university has 16 faculties, 8 vocational colleges, 7 graduate programs, 5
departments, 22 research centers, and a highly developed research hospital with 1,350 beds.

a research center. Our department has achieved a solid technical infrastructure for
research by using resources obtained from research projects. The department offers
laptops, voice recorders, professional photographic equipment, and a professional
scanner which can be used in research projects by faculty and graduate students.
The personal book collection of Prof. Dr. Beylü Dikeçligil, the Chair, is also available
to faculty and graduate students and consists of a considerable number of books and
academic journals. The department invites professors from other universities to
offer a variety of courses in order that graduate students might benefit from
alternative approaches and experience different academic milieus.
Our department strives to enhance theoretical accumulation in the field of
methodology while also using a variety of research techniques in research projects
to ground these theoretical formulations in a more concrete manner. This also
creates opportunities for our graduate students as well, since they take key roles in
these projects in order to improve their research abilities and to acquire experience.

AREAS AND
RESEARCH
INTERESTS
Visual Sociology is another major research area in our department. The department
offers courses and uses various research techniques specific to this area of study in
order to enhance its methodological capabilities. The Department of Sociology
considers visual materials as having potential to constitute an essential part of the
data gathered in field research, rather than as being merely supplementary. Our
department is ready for academic collaboration with partners around the world
related with the research interests explained above. The Department of Sociology
focuses on the urban and the social with a special emphasis upon culture, economy
and collective memory. Being located in Kayseri, one of the most rapidly growing
cities in Turkey and also a significant historical site, our department has a special
opportunity to investigate these issues from a comparative and historical
perspective.
This academic collaboration can be both theoretical and practical; that is, partners
can organize conferences and symposiums and carry out comparative research
projects. The faculty members and graduate students in partner institutions could
give seminars for information exhange and communication with regard to
prospective research projects.

be able to offer a Ph.D. program in English Literature in the near future. The
teaching personnel in the department have established themselves academically
by publishing continuously in scholarly journals in linguistic and literary studies.
The main areas of research in the department are English Literary History,
Literary Criticism, English Drama, Poetry and Prose as well as American Literary
Studies. Moreover, some members of the faculty have conducted research and
published studies in areas of linguistics and foreign language education as well.
Due to its broad areas of research and rich course offerings, it is possible for the
department to make collaborative agreements with departments of English
Literature, English Linguistics and Foreign Language Education all around the
world. Presently, the department has three such agreements with the
Universidad de Jaen in Spain, Aristotle University in Salonica and Jagiellanian
University in Portugal. Currently, there is one ongoing research project being
carried out by the faculty members called “The effectiveness of self-regulatory
training on pre-service English teachers” besides the numerous completed

activities that are related with women’s issues and aims to gather scholars from all
disciplines studying in the field. The center gives special importance to field studies
carried out in the region, and in Turkey in general. However, the center also
considers theoretical discussions in women’s studies as having key significance in
the development of the women’s movement. Thus, the center also supports
theoretical research and agendas. Our center is ready for collaboration in all
research projects that are related with women’s issues. For this purpose, the
center is organized so as to gather scholars from many disciplines and to benefit
from a variety of technical infrastructures in the academic departments of our
university. This makes us a very flexible center in considering the subject of
prospective research projects. Women’s studies have a universal quality in contrast
to many other fields of study : women from all around the world cope with similar
problems. Thus, the collaboration of scholars from different countries has much
more importance and meaning when it comes to women’s studies. Therefore, our
center puts great significance on international collaboration and considers this as
one of its main objectives.
The Women’s Studies Research and Implementation Center considers some
research subjects as having priority over others. Among these are Women and
Violence, Child-Brides and Child-Mothers, the Participation of Women in NGOs,
Women’s Health and Women Entrepreneurs.

reestablished for scientific research activities in 2009. We believe that these
activities and its contact with centers abroad will help to meet the scientfic deficit
in our country. In addition, it will also significantly contribute to the introduction
of the subject in our country. Research activities to be conducted in the center
will be beneficial for the health problems of those living at higher altitudes, not
only in our region but also countrywide; they will also contribute to the scientific
improvement of health and performances of various sports teams and groups
who are willing to increase their performances by camping at high altitudes.The
aim of the center is to plan and conduct research based on information
production on high altitude and sports sciences, to investigate the effects of high

ENERGY TRANSFORMATION
RESEARCH AND IMPLEMENTATION CENTER
SHORT
DESCRIPTION
Erciyes University’s Energy Transformation Research and Implementation Center was
founded in 1996. The aim of the center is to supply research facilities for scientific
studies, in particular those on solar energy and renewable energy sources. These kinds
of studies were initiated in 1993 through the agreement relating to the exchange of
academic staff and researchers which was made between the University of Nevada at
Reno (USA) and Erciyes University.
Most previous studies were experimental studies. Thus far, about 40 scientific papers
have been published as a result of studies conducted in this center.
The Energy Transformation Research and Implementation Center is located in the
Erciyes Solar Home which was built in 1995. It is still used as a laboratory.
Erciyes University’s Energy Transformation Research and Implementation Center
supports all scientific activities that are related with renewable energy sources
(especially solar energy and its applications) with the exception of nuclear energy and
thermal storage systems.
RESEARCH AREAS
AND RESEARCH
INTERESTS
In this context, many studies have been conducted via the center. The 80th Year
Sports Center is the biggest application of the use of solar energy in a closed volume
heating system in Turkey. In this study, 330 m2 air collectors are used. To store the
thermal energy, 5,120 1.5 liters water bottles are used.
The floor heating system using solar energy in the Erciyes Solar Home was the first
such application in Turkey. In this system, thermal energy is stored via water and air
solar collectors. This energy is then used for heating the building. There is thermal
storage via pebbles.
A water distillation system is available for research too. Many water heating systems,
in particular, have been founded via the center. Some of these include Erciyes
University’s Talas Guest House, the Gevher Nesibe Hospital, and the campus nursery.
These studies are available for research.
