From the President, TIBTD 2018 Second Activity Report, 31/12/2018
Our respectful members,
During the period of approximately four months, starting from the date, Augustos 20th, 2018 when I was presented the first activity report to now, to summarize our activities on behalf of TIBTD, consistent with the theme of president, “Let’s overcome the borders and broaden our horizon”; With the amendment made in the Regulation of Associations, it has been made obligatory to inform the association member information (real or legal person) via associations over Information System of the Department of Associations, DERBIS. In this context, the process of one-to-one communication with the members of the association and uploading the member information to DERBIS system has been initiated and it is expected to be completed by the end of January 2019.
The English face of the Association’s web page (http://tibtd.org.tr/en/) has been completed and activated and is ready to be revised according to the suggestions from you. The logo of the association was revised and designed in six different formats. The association badge is suppressed by using vector format including abbreviation association name and installation date and it is planned to be distributed during the Congress. Besides member identity card design is made and it is planned to be sent to the demanders and to be distributed during the congress.
Turkish Society of Thermal Science and Technology (TIBTD) Congress, which has been organized in national scope at every two years for 42 years since 1977, was decided to be organized internationally in Kocaeli City between 11-14 September 2019. It was deemed appropriate to revise the name of the congress as “Congress on Thermal Science and Technology” by excluding the term “National”. On the other hand, it was preferred being keept the existing abbreviation name as it is, ULIBTK in order to preserve the corporate memory. Since the domain name was taken as ctst2019, no correction could be made in this section. The congress posters were printed in English by the Executive Committee and were dispatched to the related units. Although the abbreviation CTST 2019 is used in the congress posters published, the abbreviation ULIBTK’19 will continue to be used after revision on the website (http://ctst2019.kocaeli.edu.tr) and electronically published posters (http://ctst2019.kocaeli.edu.tr/documents.php). The Turkish version of the Congress Poster will be prepared and published on the website. In addition to the English face of the web page, a study was started to prepare the Turkish face. Preparations are planned to be completed within 15 days and the amandments will be announced by Executive Committee of the Congress.
The 22nd Congress on Thermal Science and Technology (ULIBTK’19) will be organized in cooperation with Kocaeli University (http://www.kocaeli.edu.tr) and ASHRAE Turkish Chapter (http://ashrae.org.tr) under the roof of Turkish Society of Thermal Science and Technology (TIBTD) (http://tibtd.org.tr/).
During the congress, it is planned to provide certified trainings (Carrier HAP, REVIT, etc.) for students and young engineers. These trainings are especially planned for ASHRAE student members and Young Engineer in ASHRAE (YEA) members as well as undergraduate and graduate students who will participate in both domestic and foreign.
A presentation was made by myself for the congress promotion at the meeting of Climate Council of Turkey’s Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges (TOBB) (https://www.tobb.org.tr) which was held on December 13th, 2018 at the Union’s Building in Istanbul. Approximately 35 senior representatives from industrial firms, institutions and organizations representing the air conditioning sector were attended to the meeting. Hereby it is aimed to strengthen the university – industry association and get support as a sponsor.
The goal of the society through this term, in the direction of president’s theme, is to be more active both in national and international scientific arena and to develop cooperation and collaboration with other industrial, educational and scientific communities, and to increase the number and quality in scientific activities. Within this scope, our searches for cooperation as an association are ongoing.
To be a more effective association and to overcome the borders…
