Scientists who are currently members of the Management Committee and/or Working Group in a COST Action can apply to the 2515 Program.
The 2515 COST Program is always open to applications and applications can be made at any time. To apply, it is sufficient to be a member of the Working Group/Management Committee in an ongoing COST Action.
Creating a new Action will bring great prestige to your career as it will give you the management of a large-scale international scientific platform. Additionally, you will have the chance to have a say in all activities to be carried out within the scope of your COST Action. For example, you can organize large international workshops at the university/institution/organization where you work, entirely with the COST budget. For detailed information about the conditions for proposing a COST Action, please see http://www.cost.eu/participate/open_call. Additionally, if the COST Action you propose is accepted, you can apply for the COST Action Main Proposer Award offered by TÜBİTAK.
Since COST is not a European Union project, it would be more useful not to think of it as an international project. COST is an international scientific networking activity. While it does not support research, activities such as workshops, management committee meetings, short-term scientific activities, working group meetings, training courses are supported by COST. In this nature, even if you are the manager, the Management Committee, formed by representatives of all countries, makes decisions together regarding the activities in question. In terms of management, there is no additional support that COST pays directly to the individual, but all activities are covered from the Action budget. You can gain benefits such as being the leader of a large international network in terms of initiating and executing the process from Turkey, and being able to carry out international scientific activities with the COST budget in your institution in Turkey. The disadvantage is; The COST Action is a bit of a difficult task in terms of its proposal and execution after it comes into force, but it will be worth the effort.
The new COST Action to be proposed should not be similar to the previous actions, but COST has a flexible attitude regarding similarity. Before making an action recommendation, it would be useful to review the Actions suggested so far at http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/all_actions.
Visits to countries outside Europe are also included in the scope of support. Information about the institutions that can be visited is as follows:
Receiving Institution (Host Institution)
Institutions, organizations and legal entities located in COST Member Countries and COST Cooperating Member Countries
International COST Partner Country (IPC) organizations
Organizations located in COST Near Neighbor Countries (NNC)
European Union Commission and units affiliated to the European Union
International Organizations approved by COST
Science, Technology and Development Organizations based in Europe
COST Cooperating Member: Israel
COST International Cooperating Country: https://www.cost.eu/who-we-are/cost-strategy/international-cooperation/
COST Near Neighbor Countries: https://www.cost.eu/who-we-are/cost-strategy/international-cooperation/
If you are entitled to support, TÜBİTAK has no authority or responsibility regarding the permission you will receive from your institution. However, in order to win COST's Short-Term Scientific Visit, you must first make an agreement with the institution/organization where you will carry out your Short-Term Scientific Visit. You can request permission by contacting your institution with the support letter you will receive from the institution/organization you have agreed with. You can see the Short Term Scientific Visit application process below:
The researcher makes an agreement with the institution/organization to which he will make an international scientific visit.
In order to apply for COST Short Term Scientific Visit (STSM) support, one must find a COST Action compatible with the subject of the scientific visit. (To find the appropriate COST Action; https://www.cost.eu/cost-actions/browse-actions/)
After finding a COST Action that is compatible with the subject of the scientific visit, he/she applies at (https://e-services.cost.eu/stsm). The relevant Action must be selected during the application.
The application is evaluated by Action management. The compatibility of the subject of the scientific visit and the subject of the COST Action is examined.
The evaluation result is notified to the applicant.
Kamu kurumlarının Ar-Ge ile giderilebilecek ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması ya da sorunlarının çözümü amacıyla 10 Mart 2005 tarihinde yapılan “Bilim ve Teknoloji Yüksek Kurulu (BTYK)” toplantısında alınan karar doğrultusunda Kamu Kurumları Araştırma ve Geliştirme Projelerini Destekleme Programı (1007 Programı) başlatılmıştır.
Program ile;
yerine
hedeflenmektedir.
Kamu kurumları tarafından tespit edilen sorunların çözümüne ve/veya ihtiyaçlara yönelik olarak ilan edilen çağrılara üniversiteler, kamu Ar-Ge birimleri ve özel kuruluşların bilgi birikimi, yetişmiş insan gücü ve alt yapı imkanları kullanılarak sunulan Ar-Ge nitelikli projeler desteklenmektedir.
Kamu kurumlarının Ar-Ge nitelikli ihtiyaçlarını giderme öncelikli hedefi yanında;
1007 Programına sunulan projeler iki Araştırma Destek Grubu tarafından desteklenmektedir.
KAMAG - Kamu Araştırmaları Destek Grubu
SAVTAG - Savunma ve Güvenlik Teknolojileri Araştırma Destek Grubu
The Program was initiated in line with the decision taken at the " The Supreme Council for Science and Technology (BTYK)" meeting held on March 10, 2005, in order to meet the needs of public institutions that can be met with R&D or to solve their problems.
Calls are announced for the solution of problems and/or needs identified by public institutions. Within the scope of these calls, projects submitted by using the knowledge, researchers and infrastructure opportunities of universities, public R&D units and private institutions are supported.
In addition to the primary goal of meeting the R&D qualified needs of public institutions, there are 3 different subgoals of this program. These subgoals are listed below;
Projects submitted to the 1007 Program are supported by two Research Support Groups.
KAMAG - Public Research Support Group
SAVTAG - Defense and Security Technologies Research Support Group
Program Kapsamı
Ar-Ge’ye dayalı çözüme ihtiyacı olan ve proje sonuçlarının uygulanmasını taahhüt eden kamu kurumları “Müşteri Kurum”; proje hazırlama ve proje yürütme, beceri, deneyim ve altyapısına sahip; projenin yürütüldüğü kamu Ar-Ge birimi, üniversite ve/veya özel kuruluş ise “Proje Yürütücüsü Kuruluş” olarak programda yer alırlar.
Desteklenecek projeler çıktılarına göre dört farklı nitelikte olabilir:
Müşteri Kurum, 1007 Programı kapsamında desteklenen projelerin çıktılarını kullanmayı taahhüt ettiği Proje Sonuçları Uygulama Planını (PSUP) TÜBİTAK’a sunmaktadır. TÜBİTAK proje sonuçlarının müşteri kurum tarafından uygulamaya aktarılmasını bu plana göre takip etmektedir. Teknoloji birikim projelerinde PSUP yerine proje yürütücüsü kuruluşlar tarafından Teknoloji Kazanım Yol Haritası (TKYH) düzenlenmekte ve bu yol haritası doğrultusunda teknoloji geliştirme süreci izlenmektedir.
Proje Süresi
1007 Programı kapsamında sunulan projelerin Ar-Ge süresi en fazla 48 aydır.
Çağrı Bütçesi
Bütçe üst limitleri çağrı sürecinde belirlenmekte olup çağrı konusuna ve kapsamına göre değişmektedir.
Proje Destek Bütçesi
Personel (yürütücü, araştırmacı, danışman, bursiyer), makine-teçhizat, sarf malzemesi, hizmet alımı ve seyahat giderleri %100 oranında desteklenmektedir. Özel kuruluşların seri üretim amacıyla da kullanılabilecek makine-teçhizat talepleri en fazla %40 oranında desteklenmektedir. Ayrıca, proje bütçesinin %10’u oranında kurum hissesi ve %20’sini geçmemek üzere Bilgi ve Kazanımların Sürekliliği Bütçesi verilmektedir.
