Two projects involving Asst. Prof. Gökçe Uzgören and Asst. Prof. İbrahim Erol  from "Environment, Urbanization And Earth Sciences Application And Research Center" at Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) have been accepted to be featured in the COP31 YÖK Pavilion following an evaluation process coordinated by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK).

The first project, "CR-Cities Academic Network," is an international collaboration platform that brings together the urban planning, architecture, and landscape architecture departments of universities across Mediterranean countries. The project aims to develop interdisciplinary intervention strategies against issues such as climate migration, coastal erosion, and urban heat island effects, while also establishing a joint certification program and an open-access knowledge-sharing portal.

The second project, "From BIM to Climate Action: Integrating Sustainability Performance into Building Approval Processes," proposes integrating sustainability performance directly into building permit procedures. By utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM/IFC) and an AI-driven system, the project aims to analyze energy, carbon, water, and material data to generate a standardized performance score, thereby contributing to climate-resilient urban goals.
