Project Support from TÜBİTAK to Our 12 Faculty Members

12 projects from Istanbul Technical University are granted support under TÜBİTAK Scientific and Technological Research Projects Funding Program.

Scientific evaluation process of projects proposed to Research Funding Programs Directorate (ARDEB) in the 1st period of 2021 within the scope of TÜBİTAK 1001 – Scientific and Technological Research Projects Funding Program was completed and announced to the public by TÜBİTAK.

TÜBİTAK subjected 2,233 of the 2,497 project proposals submitted within the scope of the 1001 – Scientific and Technological Research Projects FundingProgram to scientific evaluation and as a result of the evaluation, decided to funding 247 of the projects. 12 projects conducted by ITU faculty members are granted support under the program.

In the 1st period of 2021 project evaluation panels attended by 3,775 panelists and 1,223 observer panelists from 189 universities, projects granted support by TÜBİTAK whose principal investigators are our faculty members are listed as follows:
