Share Your Expertise: A Call for Alumni Panelists

To mark the 30th anniversary of the Faculty of Business at İstanbul Bilgi University, we invite all our alumni to join a conversation on “Building a Just and Sustainable Future.” A selected group of alumni will be invited to serve as panelists, drawing on the depth of expertise within our community to enrich the public discussion ahead of COP31. The panels formed through this call are also planned to be proposed as side events at the conference.

The panel programme will be developed around the following priority areas of the COP31 Action Agenda:

• Green Industrialization
• Clean Energy Transition
• Climate Implementation Bridge
• Youth and Education

If you have developed expertise in these areas and would be interested in contributing as a panelist — or if you would like to recommend a fellow graduate — we would be delighted to hear from you.

The event will conclude with a networking reception, providing an opportunity for alumni, students, faculty members, and guests to reconnect and continue the conversation.

Please share your suggestions and nominations — including your area of expertise and a suggested panel topic — by 3 August 2026 via: https://forms.gle/raEWbYwWpVEbuyFt9

Once the programme is finalized, we will share a registration link with all alumni.

We look forward to celebrating the Faculty’s 30th anniversary together and welcoming the entire alumni community to the panels and networking event at the santralistanbul Campus.
