1. In order to apply, an organization-based pre-registration application must be submitted to TUBITAK. The specified date is the deadline for sending the organization-based pre-registration application to TÜBİTAK via PRODİS. Pre-registration documents must reach TÜBİTAK at least one business day before the call closing date. If pre-registration approval cannot be given due to deficiencies in organization-based pre-registration documents, the responsibility belongs to the organization. There is no need to wait for the call opening date for organization-based pre-registration. For this reason, companies planning to apply for the call are recommended to carry out organization-based pre-registration without wasting time.
2. Organizations that have previously received organization-based pre-registration approval will not pre-register on an organization basis again and will not send pre-registration documents.
3. This is the deadline for project proposals to be sent via PRODİS. Organization-based pre-registration approval must be obtained for submission.
Important Remınder:
Since the project proposals will be sent with e-signature, the e-signature must be provided or, in case of e-signature, the e-signature validity periods must be checked, and the e-signature must be renewed if the e-signature expires until the call closing date.
