As part of our academic cooperation framework, SIMAD University hosted   from Kütahya Dumlupınar University, Türkiye, under the Erasmus+ KA171 Teaching Staff Mobility programme.

Assist. Prof. Altunal, affiliated with the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Department of Business Administration, and specialising in accounting, contributed to the academic programme through a series of lectures delivered to students of the Faculty of Accountancy. The sessions addressed core accounting topics with attention to both conceptual clarity and practical application, creating space for discussion on how accounting education connects with professional practice and evolving academic approaches.

The visit also included focused engagement with the Faculty of Accountancy and the Faculty of Management Sciences, where meetings with academic staff and faculty leadership allowed for exchange on teaching methods, course design, and areas of shared academic interest. These discussions remained discipline-oriented and centred on practical aspects of instruction and curriculum alignment.

In addition, the programme provided an opportunity to observe SIMAD University’s academic environment through visits to campuses, laboratories, and relevant academic units, offering a broader understanding of the institutional context in which teaching and learning are delivered.

The visit concluded with a meeting with the Deputy Rectors, during which academic cooperation and future engagement were discussed. In recognition of his contribution to teaching and academic exchange, Assist. Prof. Altunal was presented with an appreciation award.

This engagement represents a structured form of academic exchange, grounded in teaching collaboration and direct interaction between academic staff, and contributes to the continuity of institutional cooperation between the two universities.
