TÜBİTAK Science and Society Directorate has supported projects aimed at organizing scientific activities for various segments of society, ranging from preschool children to undergraduate students and teachers since 2007.
The 2026 call for the 4005 – Innovative Educational Applications Support Program, which aims to promote innovative approaches to education, encourage the development and implementation of innovative teaching practices, and enhance educators' professional knowledge and skills, has been announced.
Several significant updates and improvements have been introduced for the 2026 call period. The key changes are as follows:
The “Project Proposal Form”, which was previously required to be uploaded to the application system, has been removed. The relevant sections have instead been incorporated into the application system as separate steps.
The eligibility criteria for project participation have been updated. Applicants are now permitted to submit project proposals to different support programs administered by the TÜBİTAK Science and Society Directorate during the same application period.
The maximum funding limit, Project Incentive Premium (PTI) amount, and project team remuneration have been increased.
Applications for the program will be accepted until 14 December 2026 (17:30, UTC+3).
