Based on the Memorandum of Understanding between The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) and the Ministry of Science Research and Technology (MSRT) signed in 2017, this call is launched to enhance the cooperative activities in the field of research between two countries. The main objective of this call is to support research projects to promote the integrated joint research between two countries through the synergy between both countries’ teams.

The purpose of a partnership between TÜBİTAK and MSRT is to support projects for which there is genuine Turkish-Iranian collaboration. Under this call, only the research projects, focusing on producing new knowledge; making new scientific interpretations or solving technological problems based on scientific principles will be funded. The projects will be implemented through the exchange of researcher and knowledge. Based on the respective bilateral agreement between TÜBİTAK and MSRT, each party will cover the costs of their national team. While submitting the Project proposal form, the costs which are requested in the scope of the project must be stated in detail and justified.
