Turkey Chapter

This talk provides insight into Koç University’s (KU) experience with the European Commissions’s ERC and MSCA programs. Mr. Göker will focus first on the research support/management side of this experience in these two programs. Next, he will shortly discuss the new developments in these programs under Horizon Europe, and what these changes might mean for Turkish universities.

After two years of hiatus because of the pandemic situation, we are happy to be back for our physical event "Researchers Meet Innovators" - this year in Istanbul, Turkey!

The MCAA Turkey Chapter is hosting an informative event on two important topics of academics and research. The first focus area examines utilizing Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) to recruit notable researchers to Turkey. This aspect promotes Turkey's appeal to international researchers through talks on collaboration, funding, and professional development.

The event also addresses scholarly work-life balance. By understanding researchers' needs and challenges, the conversations will focus on effective strategies, support networks, and efforts to balance professional and personal responsibilities. This session aims to help Turkish researchers a,d beyong succeed academically and personally by analyzing ideal approaches and providing pragmatic viewpoints.

Please join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how Turkey may improve its research environment and prioritize scientist wellbeing.

The BSB WG supports the MCAA Turkey Chapter event, which brings together Turkey Chapter members to organize and plan future activities.
