TÜBA President Prof. Dr. Muzaffer Şeker represented Türkiye at the 4th Chief Science Advisors Roundtable (CSAR), held at UNESCO Headquarters.

The 31st Conference of the Parties (COP31) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, hosted by Türkiye in Antalya, served as a global gathering where TÜBA played a prominent role through its scientific events, international collaborations, and academic publications.

At the “Food, Agriculture, and Health” session held in the Green Zone as part of COP31, TÜBA Full Member Prof. Dr. K. Arzum Erdem Gürsan addressed the impacts of climate change on food and water security and the opportunities offered by biosensor technologies developed in this field in her presentation titled “Biosensors for Food and Water Security" (Gıda ve Su Güvenliğine Yönelik Biyoalgılayıcılar).

TÜBA President Prof. Dr. Muzaffer Şeker spoke at the international event titled “Science and Leadership for Climate-Resilient Health Systems” held in Antalya as part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s 31st Conference of the Parties (COP31). Noting that the climate crisis is also a health crisis, President Şeker emphasized that scientific academies must play an active role in shaping climate-health policies through independent scientific advisory services, strengthening national research capacity, and fostering equitable international collaborations.

TÜBA has published the book  “Halil İnalcık Hayatı Bizzat Tarih”, which comprehensively examines the life, scholarly work, and historical legacy of the late Prof. Dr. Halil İnalcık (1916–2016), one of the most prominent figures in Turkish and world historiography and an Honorary Member of TÜBA. Published as the eighth volume in the TÜBA Biography Series, the book not only recounts the life story of a great historian but also sheds light on the development of Turkish historiography, the shift in methodology in Ottoman historical research, and the place Türkiye has earned in the international academic community.
