Results of Scientific Evaluation of Projects Proposed to “Earthquake Research” Call of ARDEB – 1001 were Announced

7 projects from Istanbul Technical University evaluated within the framework of the “Earthquake Research Call” of TUBİTAK 1001 – Scientific and Technological Research Projects Funding Program are granted support.

Scientific evaluation process of projects proposed to the “Earthquake Research Call” of TÜBİTAK 1001 – Scientific and Technological Research Projects Funding Program (ARDEB) was completed and announced to the public.

240 of the 281 projects submitted within the framework of the “Earthquake Research Special Call” were subjected to scientific evaluation by TÜBİTAK and as a result of the evaluation it was decided to support 47 of the projects. 7 projects conducted by ITU faculty members are granted support under the program.

In the project evaluation panels attended by 402 panelists and 129 observer panelists from 127 universities, projects granted support by TÜBİTAK whose principal investigators are our faculty members are listed as follows:
