Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) develops innovative practices to strengthen gender equality and ensure that students and staff can participate in academic life under equal conditions. Within this scope, the university organizes Science Camps for children, particularly during the summer months, providing solutions to the childcare needs of both students and academic/administrative staff.

These Science Camps provide children with fun and educational content that develops scientific thinking skills, while also creating a supportive environment for parents to more easily participate in academic activities or summer research projects. In this way, childcare responsibilities are no longer an obstacle to academic advancement, especially for female academics and students, thus promoting equal opportunities.
