Kırşehir Ahi Evran University was established in 2006. The university is one of Turkey’s innovative universities and aims to graduate individuals with high awareness with its high-quality education. Kırşehir Ahi Evran University is a university that attaches importance to scientific, artistic, sports, and cultural activities. In this context, the university administration believes that the biggest investment should be made to people. Ahi Evran, who gave his name to the university, applied moral and social rules to the economy, revitalized the economy by providing solidarity in this way, and established the Ahi Organization (Turkish historical chamber of merchants and craftsmen) based on these principles and spread it all over Anatolia. The organization organizes working life based on good human qualities. Ahi Organization is a mixture of art, commerce, and profession intertwined with mature personality, morality, and righteousness. Ahi is a mature, moral, compassionate, benevolent, honest, and reliable person in every business and behaviour. The purpose of today’s modern university is to educate students who have adopted these principles, internalized them, and can apply them in their business and private lives.
