The results of TÜBİTAK Scientific and Technological Research Projects Funding Program for the I. Period of 2023 have been announced. 6 projects from ITU are entitled to receive support from TÜBİTAK.

The scientific evaluation process of the projects proposed to the Research Funding Programs Directorate (ARDEB) in the 1st period of 2023 within the framework of TÜBİTAK’s “1001 – Scientific and Technological Research Projects Funding Program” has been completed.

Of the 1664 project proposals submitted to TÜBİTAK within the scope of the 1001 program in the 1st period of 2023, 1550 projects passed the scientific evaluation. As a result of the evaluation, it was decided to support 245 of the project proposals and to accept 23 project proposals conditionally provided that the deficiencies specified in the scientific evaluation reports to be sent to the applicants are completed.

Projects, for which the panel evaluation process was concluded positively and will be evaluated on financial principles and similar issues within the framework of the first paragraph of Article 6 of the Regulation on Project Incentive and Support Principles, that were deemed worthy of support by TÜBİTAK and whose principal investigators are ITU faculty members, are listed as follows:
