Research and Development Strategy
The cornerstones of the research and development policy around these values and priorities are:
At least one year of research and publication goals are determined for each academic staff, department and school/faculty of the university. The estimated budget for the research topic, for which support program is written, is included in this goal setting process. These targets are published as internal documents. Percentages of realization of these annual targets are measured, monitored, assessed, reported and improved measures are taken.
The university's strategic priority and specialization area is "ecological, economic, technological, social and cultural sustainability and a specialization area of each chapter is a priority with the supported research field. To create an academic school / tradition through specialization and concentration is aimed.
Research projects are written with diversification and according to programs financed by the university's own funds, financed by domestic and private institutions and financed by foreign sources. Projects are supported through IGUBAPUM and TTO by using the equity of the university.
An incentive project and publication promotion mechanism are established and operated. Research and publication performance is considered as an important criterion of the performance-based wage system.
Establishing institutional support mechanisms and increasing the amount of support provided through this mechanism in foreign language, proposal writing, budgeting, publication, patent application etc. for writing a research proposal and research outputs into publication and product, is the priority of university senior management.
