It is aimed to increase the competitiveness of our scientists at the global level and to create innovative and high-impact projects by encouraging researchers in Türkiye to collaborate with international scientists, especially with Turkish ones abroad. In this context, researchers residing abroad can take part in the projects as researchers outside Türkiye if there are specific subjects in which the competence of researchers in our country is limited in the projects submitted within the scope of the support programs (except 1002) carried out by the Directorate for Research Funding Programmes (ARDEB),
To increase the collaborations within this scope and to enable collaboration with scientists from countries with which bilateral and multilateral international collaborations exist as well as the ones with which no collaboration agreement has been made yet, improvements have been made in the conditions for taking part as a researcher outside Türkiye in projects.
With these improvements;
The restriction on the number of researchers outside Türkiye to take part in a project has been removed. It has become possible for more than one researcher outside Türkiye to take part in a project submitted within the scope of regarding ARDEB programs.
Restrictions on the duration that researchers outside Türkiye can take part in a project and the obligation for researchers outside Türkiye to come to Türkiye have been removed. Researchers outside Türkiye have been allowed to take part in projects without obligation to come to Türkiye.
NOTE: Researchers outside Türkiye can take part in more than one project supported by TÜBİTAK, but they can get fee only from one project. The travel expenses of the researchers outside Türkiye are covered from the project's travel budget, and 50% of the full-time monthly gross fees they receive abroad in the same period of time, for the time they take part in the Project, are covered as service cost from the project. If 50% of the full-time monthly gross wage that the researcher outside Türkiye receives abroad is less than the “2221 - Fellowships for Visiting Scientists and Scientists on Sabbatical Leave” coordinated by the Directorate for Science Fellowships and Grant Programmes (BİDEB), the highest monthly fee provided under that program is used.
