The 2024/1 period support results of the 2209-A and 2209-B programs conducted by the TÜBİTAK Directorate of Scientist Support Programs (BİDEB) have been announced. Our Faculty attracted attention with its high performance in both programs.

We sincerely congratulate our students and Faculty members who contributed to our faculty being among the facilties that received the most project support and wish them continued success.

2209-A Research Project Support Programme for Undergraduate Students: ITU was supported with a total of 246 projects in the 2209-A program, which aims to encourage students to conduct scientific research.

These projects were presented by students from different faculties of ITU. Faculties that received the most project support:

Faculty of Science and Letters - 49 projects

Faculty of Civil Engineering - 32 projects

Faculty of Electrical and Electronics - 30 projects

Chemical-Metallurgical Engineering Faculty - 29 projects

Faculty of Architecture - 21 projects

In the evaluations made among universities across Turkey, ITU students were among the ones who stood out with their projects.

2209-B Industry Oriented Research Project Support Programme for Undergraduate Students: ITU was supported with 29 projects in the 2209-B program, which aims to support student projects that involve collaboration with industry.

The faculties that received the most support in this program:

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering – 7 projects

Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering – 6 projects

Chemical-Metallurgical Engineering Faculty – 6 projects

Faculty of Mines – 4 projects

ITU’s success in this program also reveals the university’s strong ties with industry and the application support it provides to student projects. ITU continues to be one of the pioneers of student-focused scientific production with the importance it attaches to both academic research and projects carried out in collaboration with industry.

This success in both programs reinforces ITU’s identity as a “Research University” and reveals the potential of young researchers to shape scientific and technological developments.
