At GTU, various studies are conducted both within the academic framework and within the university-industry collaboration framework to end poverty by taking poverty as a multidimensional concept beyond income poverty. In addition to articles and courses including the studies of our academics on social exclusion and poverty, our university contributes as a third party to a Horizon 2020 project, which involves interventions on energy poverty. GTU also provides technical support to projects aimed at strengthening the social inclusion of vulnerable groups and increasing their resilience in the face of earthquake disasters.
