Türkiye Yaşlı Bilimleri ve Teknolojileri Vakfı
A society’s progress is closely connected with how secure, independent and valued people feel at every stage of life. Access to quality services, lasting social relationships and a voice in decisions about one’s own life are fundamental to dignity in later years.
Türkiye Yaşlı Bilimleri ve Teknolojileri Vakfı — TÜYEV, the Turkish foundation for ageing sciences and technologies, brings scientific knowledge together with social responsibility. Its aims include improving older people’s quality of life, promoting healthy and active ageing, and strengthening solidarity between generations.
Turning knowledge into quality of life
Ageing should be considered alongside education, technology, social participation and accessible living conditions, as well as healthcare. TÜYEV’s approach gives importance to research and health technologies that respond to society’s needs.
The foundation’s stated areas of work include education and scientific meetings, student scholarships, preventive health awareness and contributions to the development of care services. Developing healthcare institutions and facilities for older people is also among its expressed objectives. These ambitions reflect a commitment to connecting knowledge with practice.
Healthy ageing includes social participation
The quality of a life cannot be measured solely by the number of services available. Being heard, expressing preferences and maintaining connections with society matter too.
Work concerning older people should therefore put the individual at its centre. Technology should make daily life easier; care arrangements should respect personal needs; and social activities should create opportunities for genuine relationships. Support for families and carers is an integral part of this approach.
TÜYEV’s published vision and mission bring together the scientific, technological and human dimensions of ageing. Their emphasis on dignity, equal opportunity and sustainable solutions is valuable for lasting social benefit.
My TÜYEV membership and our shared responsibility
As a member of TÜYEV, I value the foundation’s aims and its commitment to improving life for older people. For me, membership expresses a willingness to put experience and a sense of responsibility to work for the benefit of society.
Understanding older people’s needs requires listening to them, respecting their experience and taking the barriers they face in everyday life seriously. I believe stronger solidarity grows through these human connections.
IBL Finance’s meaningful support
At IBL Finance, we provide meaningful support to TÜYEV and embrace its aims for social benefit. We regard this support as a valued part of our approach to social responsibility.
For us, support means responding thoughtfully to a social need, valuing the work involved and caring about lasting benefit. The long-term thinking we have developed in finance also guides our social responsibility: we want the steps taken today to continue making a difference tomorrow.
When considering an initiative concerning older people, service quality, staff, accessibility and continuity should be assessed together. Responsible use of resources and a person-centred approach provide a stronger foundation for social contribution.
Dignity at every age, a future we share
Older people’s knowledge, memories and life experiences are shared assets of society. Valuing them means strengthening opportunities for security, respect and participation in later life.
This understanding underpins our support for TÜYEV’s aims. At IBL Finance, we believe in the importance of work that puts people first and strengthens solidarity between generations.
Strong Steps, A Sustainable Future… Together, at every age.
