11th International English Young Academics Conference Closing Program
We completed our 11th International English Young Academics Conference, which we held on December 1-6, with participants from Malaysia, India, Germany and Pakistan.
Prof. Alparslan Açıkgenç, Prof. Elmira Akhmetova, Prof. Ensar Nişancı and Prof. İsmail Hacınebioğlu gave lectures in the framework of the theme of "The Resurrection in Risale-i Nur" for 4 days. The participants, who took lessons and had discussions within this framework, also had the opportunity to conduct a detailed study on the methodology, terminology and general content of the Risale-i Nur. On the fifth day of the program, they presented their articles prepared as a result of the four days of training and discussions.
In the closing program, the participants, who thanked the Istanbul Science and Culture Foundation for providing this opportunity, stated that the biggest contribution of the program to them was getting to know Risale-i Nur closely and benefiting more from the world of thought of an Islamic thinker like Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. Stating that they would like to work on the Risale-i Nur in their future careers and even pass it on to their students, the participants stated that they would consider it an honor to take part in all academic activities of the foundation.
At the end of the program, certificates were given to the participants.
