Project Cooperation

Sabancı University’s Project Partners Directorate for Arts & Social Sciences and Sabancı Business School (FASS & FMAN) provides strategic and administrative support for faculty and researchers across social sciences, behavioural sciences, economics and management sciences in identifying, developing, and implementing national and international research grants, including Horizon Europe programme. As FASS-SBS Project Partners we actively support researchers from Arts & Social Sciences (e.g., psychology, culture&art, political science, economics) and Management Sciences (e.g., organisational behaviour, innovation and strategy, supply chain management, finance,sustainability) in building competitive proposals and strong interdisciplinary consortia.

Our research interests that are relevant to Cluster 1 – Health calls include (but are not limited to):

• Social and organisational behaviour — interpersonal relations, well-being, social psychology, behavioural processes that shape health outcomes.

• Public policy, governance and politics — political science, EU policy processes, public choice, health policy analysis.

• Economics and health economics — welfare economics, public economics, economic analyses of health systems and social welfare.

• Decision-making, data & analytics — behavioural analytics, machine learning, data-driven decision support relevant for health services and population studies.

• Organisational and innovation management — organisational behaviour, leadership, supply chain and innovation management relevant for healthcare systems and service delivery.

• Culture, memory and societal dynamics — how cultural and social constructs influence community health, ageing, identity and inclusion.

• Finance and sustainability — financing, financial management, impact assessment, sustainability strategies, and responsible investment in health systems.

We are particularly interested in Horizon Europe Health Cluster calls where interdisciplinary approaches — combining social, behavioural, economic, and management sciences — enhance understanding of health systems performance, health inequalities, governance, behaviour change, and societal impact.

We offer:

• Strong support in proposal development and consortium coordination for European calls;

• Access to a wide network across Sabancı University’s social sciences and management sciences researchers with complementary expertise;

• Experience in interdisciplinary research design, methodological innovation, and collaborative project implementation.

We seek European research institutions, universities, SMEs, public authorities, NGOs, and practice partners to co-develop impactful proposals and collaborate under the Horizon Europe Health Cluster.
