TÜBİTAK is the leading agency for management, funding and conduct of research in Türkiye. It was established in 1963 with a mission to advance science and technology, conduct research and support Turkish researchers. TÜBİTAK funds research projects carried out in universities and other public and private organizations, conducts research on strategic areas, develops support programs for public and private sectors. TÜBİTAK not only supports innovation, academic and industrial R&I projects but also in line with national priorities develops scientific and technological policies and manages R&D institutes, carrying on research, technology and development studies. Furthermore, with near 4000 researchers work in 20 research institutes of TÜBİTAK where contract research as well as targeted and nation-wide research is conducted. TÜBİTAK is also responsible from the general coordination Horizon Europe Programme in Türkiye and aims to increase the participation of Turkish stakeholders to the programme.
