Manisa Celal Bayar University (MCBÜ) continues to attract attention with the achievements of its students studying abroad through the Erasmus+ Programme. In the 2024–2025 academic year, Semanur Efe, a student from the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences who studied in Poland, achieved a significant international academic success.

As part of the Erasmus+ study mobility program, Semanur Efe studied at Krakow University of Technology, one of Poland’s well-established educational institutions. Through her work in the field of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, she achieved remarkable success. During her mobility period, she managed to publish a scientific study conducted together with her academic supervisors at the host institution in the respected journal Materials (MDPI).

The study titled “Synergistic Effects of Glass and Flax Fibers Reinforced in Fly Ash Geopolymer Matrix” contributes to the international scientific literature while also demonstrating the effectiveness of the university’s international collaborations. Moreover, this achievement stands as a concrete example of the contribution of the Erasmus+ program to students’ academic development and global vision.

As the International Relations Office, we once again congratulate our student Semanur Efe on this important achievement and wish her continued outstanding success throughout her life.
