Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University (MSKÜ)
Established in 1992, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University (MSKÜ) is a public university located in Muğla, Türkiye, in the Mediterranean region. With faculties, graduate schools, research centres and campuses across the province, the University brings together students and researchers from a wide range of disciplines, including natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, health sciences, arts and humanities.
Muğla is known for its extraordinary natural landscapes, geological diversity, rich biodiversity and cultural heritage. With Türkiye's longest coastline, the province is home to mountains, forests, wetlands, fertile agricultural lands and diverse coastal ecosystems. Its history stretches back thousands of years, leaving a remarkable legacy of ancient cities, archaeological sites and traditional settlements. Throughout this long history, the region's Mediterranean climate and natural resources have shaped the lives of local communities. Agriculture, fisheries and tourism continue to play an important role in Muğla's economy and cultural identity.
For a university located in such a remarkable region, protecting this natural and cultural heritage is both a privilege and a responsibility. The Mediterranean Basin is recognised as one of the world's climate change hotspots, where rising temperatures, water scarcity, wildfires and other environmental pressures are increasingly affecting ecosystems and communities. These challenges are particularly relevant to Muğla, where the natural environment is closely connected to local livelihoods and ways of life. Recognising this, MSKÜ considers sustainability, environmental protection and climate resilience essential parts of its institutional mission.
At MSKÜ, sustainability goes beyond making the campus greener. It means bringing environmental responsibility into education, research, everyday university practices and engagement with the wider community. By encouraging collaboration across disciplines and working with local authorities, communities and international partners, the University seeks to connect scientific knowledge with practical solutions to the challenges facing the region.
Our aim is to help protect what makes Muğla unique, while contributing to a future in which its natural landscapes, cultural heritage and communities can continue to thrive. Through its research, education and sustainability initiatives, MSKÜ is committed to playing an active role in building a more sustainable and climate-resilient Muğla and Mediterranean region.

Sustainable Green Campus Coordination Office (SYKK)
Recognising sustainability as a fundamental institutional responsibility, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University established the Sustainable Green Campus Coordination Office (SYKK) in 2019 to coordinate and strengthen its environmental and sustainability initiatives. SYKK promotes an integrated approach to climate change mitigation and adaptation, energy and water efficiency, waste management, biodiversity conservation, sustainable transportation and the circular economy. By bringing together academics, students, administrative units and external stakeholders, the Office supports interdisciplinary collaboration and encourages the use of the university campus as a living laboratory for sustainable solutions. Located in the climate-sensitive Mediterranean region, MSKÜ aims to extend its sustainability efforts beyond the campus through research, education, community engagement and partnerships, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable future.
