Official Gazette July 20, 2026: New University Regulations and Government Calls

Today, Monday, July 20, 2026, the new issue of the Turkish Official Gazette (Resmî Gazete) was published with number 33315, containing key decisions in the executive, administrative, and educational fields. This publication, considered the final authority for laws and regulations in Turkey, has a special focus in this issue on updating the structure of university research centers and publishing public calls [1][4].

Extensive Changes in University Regulations In the "Execution and Administration" section of this issue, 6 new regulations related to various universities in the country are featured. These changes include the establishment of new centers and the amendment of educational regulations in prestigious higher education institutions. According to published reports, the regulation for the "Spine Health Application and Research Center" at Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University has officially entered the implementation phase [2]. Additionally, Aydın Adnan Menderes University has drafted and published a new regulation for postgraduate studies (Master's and Doctorate), making the educational processes of these levels more transparent [3].

Istanbul University also witnessed two important developments; first, the amendment of the "Oncology Health Application and Research Center" regulation, and second, the complete cancellation of the old regulation regarding "Medical Specialization Education and Exams." This move indicates a shift toward modern educational structures in the health sector [2][5].

Cancellation of Old Regulations and Updating Research Centers In addition to major universities, other educational centers underwent changes. Mustafa Kemal University amended its "Continuing Education Application and Research Center" regulation. Meanwhile, Muş Alparslan University announced the cancellation of the regulation related to its "Projects, Publications, and Scientific Research Application and Research Center" to pave the way for drafting new regulations [3][4]. These updates are usually carried out with the aim of complying with the new standards of the Council of Higher Education of Turkey (YÖK).

Advertisements Section: From Recruitment in Yozgat to Government Tenders The advertisement section of today's Official Gazette is also significant for job seekers and economic actors. One of the most news-making parts is the personnel recruitment advertisement in the city of Yozgat, with a registration deadline set for July 27, 2026 [3]. Furthermore, a complete list of judicial notices, government tenders, and public auctions has been published, providing new business opportunities for contractors [2].

In the financial field, the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (TCMB) announced the daily amounts of government domestic debt securities, which serve as an indicator for financial markets on this date [5]. Local media such as "Bugün Kocaeli" have also reflected this news, emphasizing the importance of this issue in regulating the administrative and educational relations of the region [1].

Weather Conditions and Surrounding News Alongside the official news, local reports indicate that the temperature in areas like Kocaeli reached 35 degrees Celsius on this day, with social and sporting activities affected by this heatwave [1]. This issue of the Official Gazette, by combining educational regulations and economic advertisements, is considered one of the most content-rich editions of July.
