How to make an organization-based pre-registration?

There is a pre-registration guide on the screen of the Company's Pre-Registration Officer and on the screen of the Establishment Officer in PRODİS.

If you have any questions about organization-based pre-registration, you can contact teydeb.onkayit@tubitak.gov.tr

Is there a specified format for the Cooperation Agreement that we should upload to the project annexes?

You can access the relevant Collaboration Agreement format from the link inside this page.

How to apply?

 Before applying for a national project under the 1509 program, an international partnership project application must be submitted to EUREKA vehicles. It is advised that you follow the call announcements posted under these vehicles on the website https://eureka.org.tr and obtain information from the email address eureka@tubitak.gov.tr. After the international project application process is finished, 1509 project applications are submitted online at https://eteydeb.tubitak.gov.tr.

What is the application schedule?

The call calendar may differ for each international project/program. To learn more about the international call, refer to the announcements on the TÜBİTAK website or those provided to you.

Can we apply for projects we have done in the past?

Projects whose R&D activities have been completed before the project application are not supported.

What is the support rate and what is the maximum project budget?

The support rate is 60% for large-scale enterprises and 75% for SME-scale companies, unless otherwise specified in the call announcement. The project's overall budget has no upper limit, unless the international call announcement specifies otherwise. The assistance is given in the form of a grant, which is non-refundable.

Are basic R&D and infrastructure projects supported under the program?

Within the scope of the program, projects focused on "research and experimental development (R&D)", "technologically new or improved product", and "technological process innovation" are expected.

Which expenses are supported?

The following expenses related to R&D studies in the project are supported:

  1. Personnel expenses,
  2. Travel expenses of project personnel (excluding economy class and city),
  3. Tool, equipment, software and publication purchase expenses (excluding production infrastructure expenses),
  4. Material and consumable expenses,
  5. Domestic and international consultancy and other service purchase expenses,
  6. R&D service expenses provided to universities in Turkey, R&D units affiliated with TUBITAK, private sector R&D organizations and similar R&D institutions and organizations.
Will the support given be taken back?

In projects that are terminated solely due to the intention of the organization, all payments made are collected from the organization by applying delay interest at the rates specified in Law No. 6183 (see 1509 Program Implementation Principles).

If the partnership dissolves before the project is completed, can a different partner be found? Or can the other partners continue the project by sharing the work packages of the partner who left?

This situation needs to be notified to TUBITAK as soon as feasible. Because the program's goal is to assist projects with international relationships, if the project's sole foreign partner leaves, the project will be unable to continue, even if a new partner is recruited. However, if there are multiple overseas partners and one of them leaves, TUBITAK considers whether the project should continue.

Is there a limit on the number of partners?

There is no such limitation unless specified in the international call announcement.

How to apply for 1509 if there is more than one Turkish partner in the same international project?

Turkish organizations apply for a single 1509 project by preparing a joint project proposal. In the project proposal, the activities and budgets of the organizations in the project should be prepared separately for each organization. The project partners' contributions should be compatible with those indicated in the appropriate program's international application form.

How to find a project partner?

Partner finding tools or web pages on the internet can be used. During this process, information can also be obtained from national contact points (https://ufukavrupa.org.tr/tr/kim-kimdir) within the TUBITAK International Cooperation Department.

Who owns the intellectual property rights of the project?

All intellectual and industrial rights that may arise in projects are transferred to the organization's disposal unless otherwise specified in the project contract. This is the usual practice.

Will competitor businesses gain access to our project information?

TUBITAK keeps the project's information secret. Project material is classified as "commercial confidential information" or "service specific information" and is not disclosed to anybody other than those involved in the evaluation.
