Selcuk University (SU) is one of the biggest universities located in the central of Anatolia, Turkey, currently has 2000 full-time faculty members, 1500 research staff. Its main objective has always been focused on education and training of highly component professionals in various fields and has been in the top list of the frame of entrepreneurship and innovation universities. SU has Advanced Technology Research and Application Centre (ILTEK) was established in order to serve for scientific and technological research at SU, to conduct interdisciplinary projects, to maintain the coordination of the R&D activities, directed to technology production primarily on the strategic technology fields. In addition, it was aimed to conduct multidisciplinary research and joint projects about the subjects on which industry of the region needs. SELCUK has highly qualified staff and state of the art facilities to carry out research in the areas of nanotechnology, advanced materials, and biotechnology. They can be classified as; • Nanotechnology (synthesis, patterning, functionalization, surface treatment) • Synthesis of block copolymers, nanoparticles and quantum dots for different applications • Graphene chemistry applications (materials, optoelectronics, sensors, flexible electronics, energy, nanocomposites), • Membrane technology (bulk, supported, activated and composite membranes, preparation and applications, UF/NF/RO processes and applications), • Film preparation and composite processing (CVD, PVD, LB, spin coating, , layer-by-layer assembly, electrodeposition), • Directed self assembly of nanostructures for CMOS Technologies, The projects are; H2020-Twinning-2019 EngSurf-Twin-952289 “Reinforcing the Scientific Excellence of Selcuk University in Engineered Surfaces and Films for Emerging Technologies ” H2020-SPIRE, 2020, Waste2Fresh “Smart InnovatIve system for recyclIng wastewater and creatIng closed loops in textile manufacturIng IndustrIal processes H2020-MSCA-RISE-2017-778098 “Nanostructured Carriers for Improved Cattle Feed” FP7-NMP, Large Area Molecularly Assembled Nanopattern for Devices (LAMAND) FP7-INFRA-2012, The European Solar Infrastructure for Concentrated Solar Power (EU-SOLARIS) FP7-SME-2012-"Enhanced chitin-based biosorbents for drinking water purification “ChitoClean” FP7-SME-2013 “"Ingredients for Food and Beverage industry from a lignocellulosic source (LIGNOFOOD) COST, ERA-NET, Bilateral and National projects
