Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD) Chairwoman Ümit Boyner has delivered awards to the university students who placed in the top three in TÜSİAD’s project competition for university students.
The winners of the competition came from Ankara’s Middle East Technical University (METU), who received 10,000 Turkish Liras for their project dealing with heavy metal waste.

Speaking at yesterday’s ceremony, Boyner said TÜSİAD’s aim in the competition was to contribute to the Turkish economy and society by combining with young people’s excitement. Two university students from METU, Beliz Bediz and Yunus Can Esmeroğlu, won 10,000 liras for their winning project that succeeded in neutralizing toxics in heavy metal wastes.

Gürol Herkesecan from Bahçeşehir University and Ezgi Duman from Bilgi University’s project, evarkadasim.com (myhousemate.com), was chosen as the second best project and won 5,000 liras. Sevda Yıldırım and Sinan Şimşek from Ankara University came third for their project on environmentally-friendly plastics.
