Destination Turkey:

The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBITAK), will organize a series of workshops on “Destination Turkey: European and National Funding Opportunities for Brain Circulation, R&D Cooperation and Research Career” in cooperation with the European Commission (EC), National Science Foundation (NSF) and Turkish Research and Business Organizations (TURBO) on November 30, 2010, in Boston, Massachusetts and on December 2, 2010, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.

FP7 Marie Curie Actions aim at strengthening quantitatively and qualitatively the human potential in research and technology in Europe. There are various types of mobility grants and upon them, Career Integration Grants and International Incoming Fellowships provide opportunities for the researchers of any nationality in the USA to conduct research in Europe. Furthermore, TÜBITAK has recently announced a new programme for supporting the researchers’ reintegration to Turkey.

The workshops, by gathering researchers of any nationality, aim at creating awareness on all these programmes as well as opportunities of NSF on the advancement of international research relations and collaboration between the Research Groups in Europe and USA.

With the attendance of the representatives from the hosting institutions in Turkey, the workshops will also provide an ambiance where the researchers could contact with their future hosts. Detailed information and agenda of the workshops can be found at www.fp7.org.tr/destinationturkey
