İstanbul Üniversitesi, Istanbul University, a public research university in the city, established by Mehmed II on 30 May 1453 (although the oldest quasi-university in the city was Byzantine Pandidacterium (Πανδιδακτήριον), sometimes known as University of Constantinople (but it's also the pre-1922/1930 name of the Istanbul University, Pandidacterium has follod to Phanar Greek Orthodox College today).
