A delightful workshop was held at the Gastronorm Kitchen Laboratory on October 13, 2025, to connect students from around the world who have chosen Istanbul Gelişim University (IGU) as part of the Erasmus+ Student Mobility program. The event, organized in collaboration with the IGU External Relations Coordination Office and the Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts, brought students from diverse cultures together in the kitchen.
