It also has represented Turkey in the work of the APNNIC, which is the official network of national information centres in the Asia-Pacific region concerning higher education in line with the Tokyo Convention. Last few years the centre is very active internationally, participating in different international projects and initiatives. During the visit, the Experts were inspired with all commitments of the centre staff, as well as their relations with other bodies within the Council of Higher Education but also with HEIs and other stakeholders in Turkiye. The centre reacted promptly
