TÜBİTAK Support for 29 Projects Carried Out by BİLGİ Students

29 projects carried out by BİLGİ students have received support from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK). Of these, 28 student projects have been accepted under TÜBİTAK 2209-A – Research Projects Support Program for Undergraduate Students, while 1 project has been accepted under the TÜBİTAK 2209-B – Industry-Oriented Undergraduate Research Projects Support Program.

TÜBİTAK 2209-A program aims to encourage undergraduate and associate degree students at universities to engage in research, allowing them to develop projects under the guidance of academic advisors and become part of the research ecosystem. TÜBİTAK 2209-B program, on the other hand, encourages students to develop research projects in collaboration with industry, helping them find solutions to real-world problems and gain hands-on research experience.

We sincerely congratulate our students whose projects have been selected for support under the TÜBİTAK 2209-A and 2209-B programs, as well as the faculty members who have contributed to their success. We wish them continued achievements.
