On 15th December 2010, in the 22th meeting of SCST, the National Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy (2011-2016) document has been approved.

The continuation of the pace on the improvement of RDI capacity achieved through BTP-UP (2005-2010) have been one of the main motives behind the National Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy (2011-2016).

The vision of the National Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy (2011-2016) is "to contribute to new knowledge and develop innovative technologies to improve the quality of life by transforming the former into products, processes, and services for the benefit of the country and humanity".

In line with these targets, within the period 2011-2016, disseminating culture of multilateral and multidisciplinary RDI cooperation, stimulating sectoral and regional RDI dynamics, encouraging SMEs to become stronger actors within the national innovation system, and enhancing the contribution of research infrastructures to the knowledge creation capacity of TARAL are defined as the main focus points within the national innovation system.

In order to deal with these necessities, within the National Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy (2011-2016), mission oriented approaches in areas with strong RDI capacity, need-oriented approaches in areas with a demand for gaining acceleration, and bottom-up approaches including basic, applied and frontier research are identified. The strategic framework of National Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy (2011-2016) comprises of three vertical axises and six horizontal axises that serves to the vertical ones ( Figure 1).

At the 25th meeting of SCST, which was held on 15th January, 2013, health sector included within national prioritized areas in regard to decree no. 2013/106.

Science and Technology Human Resources Strategy and Action Plan 2011-2016

Developing science and technology human resources is one of the main pillars of Turkish STI policy, as a major STI target (150 000 FTE R&D personnel by 2013) and a strategic objective of BTP-UP 2005-2010. Accordingly, the SCST mandated TUBITAK to coordinate the preparation of  Science and Technology Human Resources Strategy and Action Plan 2011-2016 (in Turkish) and in last SCST Meeting which held in 15 December 2010 strategy has been accepted.

The strategy is decided to have two main purposes: increasing the number and improving the sectoral and occupational distribution of the R&D personnel. To be able to prepare the strategy, in 2008, 12 workshops were organized with the participation of more than 500 research personnel from all stakeholders, such as international and national academicians, private sector R&D managers, and public sector lab managers. Ad-hoc committees have also been convened based on various governmental and non-governmental stakeholders to improve the R&D climate for researchers based on practical, regulatory measures. Moreover, one particular aspect of the new R&D tax law should also be highlighted such that the law fosters the employment of R&D personnel by the industry, and hence diversifies the employment opportunities for researchers. This law also contributes to invigorating the demand for R&D personnel in the private sector and providing more career opportunities for researchers in Turkey.

Ad Hoc Committees to Improve the Research Climate for Researchers

Science and Technology Human Resources Coordination Committee

Established at the 19th meeting of SCST, the Science and Technology Human Resources Coordination Committee (STHRCC) is composed of the MoF, Ministry of National Education (MoNE), Ministry of Health (MoH), MoIT, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MoLSS), YOK , Inter-University Council (UAK), State Personnel Presidency, TOBB, and TUBITAK. Based on its five working groups, the Committee has been working on important topics to improve the climate for researchers in Turkey, such as enhancing governance in higher education institutions, raising researchers’ income, and further increasing the stock of qualified HRST and university-industry collaboration. Their recommendations will be fed-back into respective policies.

International Researchers Coordination Committee

Established at the 18th meeting of SCST, the International Researchers Coordination Committee (IRCC) aimed to make Turkey an “attractive destination” for international researchers. The Committee was composed of relevant authorities from the MoF, MoNE, MoH, MoIT, MoFA, MoLSS, YOK, Directorate General of Population and Citizenship, Ministry of Interior, UAK, and TUBITAK. The Committee has worked on regulatory issues for international researchers, i.e. work and residence permits, contract period, wage, retirement, academic promotion, education for researchers’ children, learning Turkish, benefiting from health services, supports for scientific projects, and procedures for Turkish citizenship. The recommendations of this Committee were fed-back into SCST at its 19th meeting in June 2009. SCST designated relevant bodies to adopt their regulations for the issues recommended by the Committee.

Some of the outputs of STHRCC and IRCC are given, whereby international researchers:

• Are privileged in obtaining Republic of Turkey citizenship;
• Have gained the right for receiving Project Incentive Bonus (PIB) from TUBITAK projects;
• Are provided with easy-access to information on work permits based on the following webpage www.workpermit.gov.tr
• For those are studying in universities and public research institutes for maximum 2 years and working in projects in the frame of EU Pre-accession programs, work permit requirement removed.
• Regarding duly applications for work permits will be finalized in 30 days at the latest.

Also,

• Researchers can get a preliminary permit not to exceed one year until they finalize their operations related to academic and professional qualification.
• The process of recognition of diplomas and academic promotion is also facilitated.
• Improvement of researchers income through removing deductions of revolving fund.

Within the IRCC, a synergy was also created concerning the activities undertaken within the context of the EURAXESS Network, which aims to serve internationally mobile researchers with regard to practical issues, such as visas, work permits, social security, accommodation, language courses, and social and cultural issues through more than 200 service centers in 35 countries and internet portals. As the coordinator of the network in Turkey, TUBITAK launched the Turkish portal to which various authorities taking part in IRCC contributed with legal and procedural information. Through the portal, (euraxess.tubitak.gov.tr) researchers who plan to come to Turkey find information on funding opportunities, job offers, social security and tax issues and other topics relating to researcher mobility.

The goal of the call is to facilitate multinational, collaborative research projects that will address critical translational and clinical questions using interdisciplinary approaches to improve the knowledge about the neuroscience of pain, bearing the potential to improve the lives of the people affected.

Chronic pain is associated with structural and functional changes in different brain regions and is linked to altered neurotransmitter levels. Such changes can also be accompanied by emotional, cognitive and behavioural impairment. People affected by chronic pain have an increased risk of mental disorders such as depression and anxiety and vice versa. The occurrence of those comorbidities hinders effective pain management and therapy. Thus, significant progress in the field of pain research can only be achieved through coordinated collaboration between different disciplines, including e.g. clinical neurology and psychiatry, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurobiology, physiology, genetics, or pharmacology, among others.

Research proposals should cover at least one of the following areas:

a) Fundamental research on neuroscientific aspects of the pathogenesis, aetiology, prevention, progression, and treatment of chronic pain.

b) Clinical research to develop new strategies for prevention, diagnosis, patient stratification, therapy, and rehabilitation procedures for chronic pain syndromes.

The following research areas are excluded from this call:

• Neurodegenerative disorders that are addressed by the EU Joint Programme – Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND).

Only international projects will be financed. Each consortium that will submit a proposal must consist of research groups from at least three different countries funded by the organizations specified in the international call text. The number of research groups in a consortium is limited to five. A maximum of two research groups can be from the same country. The number of partners in consortiums can be increased to six, including partners from countries (Croatia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Taiwan and Türkiye) that are underrepresented up to date in the ERA-NET NEURON funding scheme. Researchers from non-funding countries can also take part in projects, if they provide their own funding sources and demonstrate their additional contribution to the consortium, not exceeding the number of research groups mentioned above.

A two-stage international evaluation will be made for the call by the ERA-NET NEURON Joint Call Secretariat. Candidates who are successful as a result of the international external reviewer evaluation from the pre-proposal proposals received in the first stage will be invited for full proposals in the second stage. Applications for preliminary proposals has been opened on 07 January 2025 and the deadline is 06 March 2025 (14:00:00 CET). Preliminary proposals and full proposals can be prepared jointly by partners, but applications should only be submitted by coordinators using the international ERA-NET NEURON electronic application system. Additionally, researchers applying from Türkiye must submit a national application. Applicants can submit and must sign electronically their applications by selecting "NEURON JTC2025 1. Aşama" from the "Çoklu İşbirliği Destek Programları (1.Aşama)" section at https://uidb-pbs.tubitak.gov.tr/ until 13 March 2025 (23:59 Türkiye time zone).

In the JTC 2025 call, researchers working in Türkiye will be supported within the scope of TÜBİTAK 1071 Support Programme for Increasing Capacity to Benefit from International Research Funds and Participation in International R&D Cooperation.
