The European Education Foundation was established in 1987 by Dr. Talip Emiroğlu and his team to provide services to Turkish private education. Initially, the foundation operated in the fields of preparatory schools, private schools, and higher education.

In 2001, with the aim of serving higher education, the European Education Foundation was established. In 2009, the European Vocational School, in 2015, the Cyprus Ada Kent University, and in 2020, the transformation of the European Vocational School into a university led to the establishment of Kocaeli University of Health and Technology.

Since its inception, the foundation has focused on social responsibility activities and provided scholarship opportunities to many students. As of 2022, scholarships have been provided to more than 2500 students, of which 875 are studying in higher education institutions not affiliated with the European Education Group. Additionally, the foundation has built four schools and handed them over to the Ministry of National Education. Furthermore, the foundation has organized numerous national and international educational projects and seminars.

Among the future priorities of the European Education Foundation are supporting investments in the field of health and contributing to the work of students and scientists.

The mission of Kocaeli University of Health and Technology is to bring its students to the level targeted by the era and support their social, sports, cultural, and artistic development. This mission is accomplished by creating an educational environment where theory and practice are synthesized with technology.

The vision of the university is to educate its students in a contemporary, secular, democratic perspective, enabling them to integrate with world cultures and engage in creative practices. Furthermore, the aim is to train professionals who can perceive the fundamental theoretical references in their fields qualitatively and design their professional development through lifelong learning.

The university's quality policy emphasizes that vocational education and training processes are evaluated with a holistic approach, highlighting that quality is a continuous process. It is also among the important goals to establish an administrative and academic staff that are true stakeholders in the scientific, professional, and social development of students, and to ensure the continuity of the process.

Within this framework, the quality processes of the institution are managed through design, implementation, monitoring, auditing, analysis, and continuity steps. The quality approach was implemented as of the 2017-2018 academic year, and efforts are ongoing to achieve the defined standards.

Kocaeli University of Health and Technology continues its vision of preparing its students for the future by focusing on meeting the need for qualified workforce both domestically and in the international labor market, creating effective, efficient, and sought-after employees.
