Other Important Matters

Other Important Considerations;

It is expected that the table will help to clarify the differences between having one executing organisation on PBS and having more than one executing organisation in a project.

 

In the case of an executing organisation

In case of more than one executing organisation
There is only one executing organisation in the ‘Executing Organisations’ tab on PBS. The project team is defined under that organisation.There is more than one executing organisation in the ‘Executing Organisations’ tab on PBS. The project team is defined separately for each executing organisation.
There is only one project coordinator.

Each defined executing organisation has a project manager. The project manager, who is responsible to TÜBİTAK for the management of the project determined by the protocol between the project executors, is defined as the ‘Project Coordinator’. There is no upper limit on the number of executing organisations. The total amount of contributions requested by the executing organisations within the scope of each project cannot exceed the upper limit of project support determined for the call.

The project budget is transferred to a single project account (executing organisation).

Separate project accounts are opened for all executing organisations. Project budgets approved for each executing organisation are transferred separately to the accounts of the relevant executing organisations.

Expenditures made within the scope of the project can only be made by the executing organisation. Purchased immovable properties shall be recorded in the executive organisation's property in kind.

Each project executing organisation shall use the budget transferred to it in coordination with the project manager. The immovable properties purchased within the scope of the project shall be recorded in the property in kind of the relevant project executing organisation.

Project applications are made by the project coordinator in the online system (PBS).Project applications are made by the project manager in the online system (PBS).
  • As a project coordinator, more than one project application can be made to this call.

  • The same project proposal cannot be applied to more than one programme in the same period.

  • Consultancy and service procurement expenses received from international project partners are not supported.

  • The national support start date of the project can be the earliest international project support start date. However, it should be ensured that the national support start date is after the date of completion of the e-signature process of the project proposal via PBS and determined as the first/fifteenth day of the month.

  • The provisions of the relevant provisions of the Regulation on the Programmes Executed by the TÜBİTAK Research Support Programmes Directorate and the Administrative and Financial Principles to be Applied in Research Projects shall apply to the suspension, abolition and cancellation of the projects. In addition, in cancelled projects, if the project executor private institution(s) is/are at fault, all expenditures made to the relevant project executor private institution(s) within the scope of the project shall be recovered with legal interest.

  • In the event that the progress/result reports (including Certified Public Accountant audit and certification report for private organisations) are not sent to TUBITAK on the date required by the project agreement, a deduction of up to thirty percent (30%) may be applied on the transfer amount related to the progress/result reports of private organisations for the relevant period with the decision of the Group Executive Committee. This provision shall not apply if it is determined that the delay is due to force majeure.

  • If the international call secretariat requires a consortium agreement regulating the duties and responsibilities between all partners of the project, the use of project results and issues related to intellectual property rights, the responsibility for the preparation and entry into force of the relevant agreement belongs to the project partners. TUBITAK does not share a draft consortium agreement text to serve as an example. The Turkish partners of the project should request that TUBITAK support be initiated after the consortium agreement is put into force.

  • In order to support the costs of the partners who are members of the board of directors of joint stock companies, limited liability company partners and limited liability company partner managers working in the project, there must be a provision in the articles of association regarding the wages or a general assembly decision must be taken. In case a general assembly decision is required, the costs after the date of the general assembly decision are supported.

The Technology and Innovation Support Programmes Directorate (TEYDEB) conducts the 1501-Industrial R&D Projects Grant Programme and the 1507-SME R&D Startup Grant Programme to support the project-based research, technology development, and innovation activities of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises. Two calls are opened each year under these programs.

Applications for the TEYDEB 1501-Industrial R&D Projects Grant Programme and the 1507-SME R&D Startup Grant Programme for the first period of 2025 will start to be accepted as of 02.01.2025 through https://eteydeb.tubitak.gov.tr.

Notes:

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 TUBITAK 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 REMINDER: 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.

Yeni COST Aksiyonu Önerme

Yeni Önerilecek Olan bir Aksiyonda Görev Alınması:

COST Aksiyonları COST üyesi 41 ülke ve 1 işbirliği ortağı ülkedeki araştırmacılarca COST kuruluşuna sunulan ve COST tarafından kurulan panellerde değerlendirilen Aksiyon önerileri arasından seçilmektedir. Bir COST Aksiyonunun sunulabilmesi için en az 7 farklı COST üyesi ülkeden gelen araştırmacının (1 Ana Öneren, 6 İkincil Öneren) bir araya gelerek bir Aksiyon önerisinde bulunmaları gerekmektedir. Aksiyon öneri sürecinde söz konusu 7 araştırmacıdan en az 4’ü COST Kapsama Hedef Ülkeleri (Inclusiveness Target Countries)[1] arasından gelmelidir. Bu oran toplam öneren sayısına göre değişiklik göstermektedir. (Öneren farklı ülke sayısının yarısı) Aksiyon onaylanıp yürürlüğe girdikten sonra bu oranın devam ettirilmesine gerek bulunmamaktadır. Türkiye’deki üniversite, kamu ve özel sektörde tam zamanlı çalışmakta olan tüm araştırmacılarımızın COST üyesi ülke vatandaşı olmalarından doğan hakları gereği bir Aksiyonun Ana Önereni (Main Proposer) ve İkincil Önereni (Secondary Proposer) olma şansları bulunmaktadır. İkincil öneren statüsünde bir COST Aksiyonuna eklenecek olan araştırmacıların https://e-services.cost.eu/ sistemi üzerinden bir hesap oluşturmaları gerekmektedir. Ana Öneren, İkincil Önerenleri sisteme kayıtlı e-postaları ile Aksiyon önerisine eklemektedir.
