According to the results of the 2024 first term of the “2209-A University Students Research Projects Support Program” carried out by the TÜBİTAK Scientist Support Programs Directorate (BİDEB), 74 projects of Erzurum Technical University (ETU) were entitled to receive support.

ETÜ, which submitted 125 projects to the “2209-A University Students Research Projects Support Program”, which is carried out by TÜBİTAK to encourage undergraduate students studying at universities to conduct scientific research and to popularize the project culture, achieved a remarkable success with a 59% acceptance rate and received support for 74 of its projects in the first term of 2024.

A total of 74 projects, including 16 from the Faculty of Letters, 16 from the Faculty of Science, 14 from the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, 21 from the Faculty of Health Sciences and 7 from the Faculty of Sports Sciences, will be provided scholarship support by TÜBİTAK for 12 months.

Making an assessment on the subject, ETU Rector Prof. Dr. Bülent Çakmak stated that they are very pleased with the increase in the number of project acceptances each passing term and said: “As a university, it is a great source of pride for us to see that more and more of our students prepare projects each passing year and that these projects receive serious support. In 2022, 21 of our projects received support, last year this number increased to 65, and this term we have taken the number even further with 74 projects. This is not only a numerical increase, but also an indication that the culture of research is spreading among our students. I wholeheartedly congratulate our students and our valuable advisors who guide them in the best way, and wish them continued success.”
