TÜBİTAK 1001 support for Sabancı University projects in the first period of the year

The results of the TÜBİTAK 1001 Program were announced. A total of thirteen projects in which faculty members and researchers from Sabancı University are coordinators, researchers, or consultants were found eligible for support, which makes Sabancı University one of the universities that received the most support from within the scope of the TÜBİTAK 1001 Program.

The TÜBİTAK 1001 Support Program for Scientific and Technological Research Projects aims to support projects in compliance with the scientific rules to produce new knowledge, make scientific comments, or provide solutions to technological problems.

Our projects supported under TÜBİTAK 1001 in the first period of the year include the following:
