Kırklareli University

Kırklareli University is a state public state university located in Kırklareli. It is one of the 17 new universities established under Law No. 5662, approved by Ahmet Necdet Sezer on 29 May 2007. The university is a member of the Balkan Universities Network.

In 2008, the university held a competition on who could design a new logo. The winning logo's core elements were exactly the same as those of the Emblem of Macau, which was first published in 1992 and adopted in 1993 by a congressional resolution of the 8th National People's Congress of China. This plagiarism issue had been reported and criticized by the Macau media. The logo was submitted by Abdullah K., who insisted it was an original creation, despite its high level of similarities to the Emblem of Macau. Kırklareli University decided not to pay the logo submitter the award money of 4,000 Turkish Lira due to plagiarism concerns surrounding the winning logo, even though it was adopted as the official school logo in practice.
