The age we live in has been called the information age, and with the support of information technology, it is becoming obsolete at the same rate as change. This has introduced modern people to the concept of lifelong learning. Thus, individuals in today's world are forced to select and learn quality information from among this abundance of information. The learning instinct, inherent in human life, initially kept them within a formal structure based on the school system. Learning in school sometimes only partially met the preparation process for life. The missing learning instinct It has developed with the support of modern technologies such as friends, media, the internet, and social media. The various learning platforms mentioned within social life have gained importance in the context of "lifelong education/learning."
This lifelong process has also supported continuous self-renewal and investment in individuals. It is necessary to constantly update knowledge and skills. Universities have a significant role and responsibility in meeting this need effectively and widely. Academic studies on this topic have demonstrated its importance and necessity. In this context, in terms of learning processes, on the one hand, lifelong learning is ensured through theoretical courses, and on the other hand, students are provided with the opportunity to discover their talents through applied courses. Young people studying at our university It is believed that it will be beneficial for generations to meet with SİMURG Program students in the same environment and benefit from their knowledge and experience.
Ankara Science University's SİMURG Program will demonstrate the possibility of lifelong learning and lifelong productivity. It will integrate with its students with the idea that humans continue their development in accordance with the philosophy of creation into their third year of life. This is a period in human life where wisdom is at its highest, yet productivity is minimized. Aging in this way is not merely continuing life by aging; it is actively participating in life with good health.
