One of the European Commission’s application for fullfilling the objective of

increasing candidate countries’ participation was to open a call for the creation of

« Excellence Centers » in the three countries. 138 projects had been submitted

from Turkey.

27 sucessfull projects had been selected for Turkey.

THe European Commission has granted 11 projects with a total amount of

8,12 million €.

EU’s Support to the Research Infrastructures of Candidate Countries

TÜBİTAK’s Support

The TÜBİTAK-BAYG (Scientists’ Education Group) decided to

allocate a grant for studying a graduation programme or a phd in

Turkey to two persons from each of the 11 organisations

supported by the EU funds (22 persons in total)

TÜBİTAK decided to fund the other 16 project proposals

which have succeeded the Euopean Commission’s evaluation but

which have not been retained due to the lack of funds (5.6

million € in total).

How Public R&D Research Project Program Works

State Agencies Identify Areas of Research Needs by preparing R&D program

State Agencies prepare Research Proposals together with R&D performers and industry

State Agencies submit Research Project Proposal to TUBITAK for evaluation

Related TUBITAK Research Group Committee evaluates Public R&D Project Proposals

If proposal meets minimum requirements of support a contract signed between TUBITAK

and project partners for Funding

Use R&D approach to meet needs of state agencies instead of procurement

Reduce rate of import and overseas dependent S&T policy Increase level of R&D works in state and increase R&D

demand in society Disseminate R&D culture into state agencies to establish

some new Research and Development programs depending upon their S&T needs

Develop an accredited solid R&D system in state agencies thorough partnerships

Guide to state agencies to meet the European Union R&D and S&T criteria

Prepare government agencies to adopt a proactive S&T policy

Program started with act of 11. BTYK (March 10, 2005 )

Science and Technology are very important to keep a nation’s economy competitive and to solve nation’s problems in health, defense, energy and environment.

TUBITAK expects that this program will help to concentrate on the government ’s research programs

This R&D Program focused on achieving well-defined practical outcomes

Will help to promote Turkey’s role in science and technology arena

As a result, every state research and development (R&D) YTL must be invested as effectively as possible.
