43 projects developed by Istanbul Gelisim University undergraduate students are qualified to be supported within the scope of the 2023/1 period call of the 2209-A University Students Research Projects Support Program carried out by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUBITAK), Directorate of Science Fellowships and Grant Programmes (BIDEB). In the 2023/1 call period, with a record number of 2209 project applications made to TUBITAK from all Turkish universities, our university has achieved success, ranked 3rd among 77 foundation universities in Türkiye. It has also shown a significant improvement by ranking 37th among all universities.
 

In this special year in which we welcome the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkiye with great excitement; as IGU progresses with its vision of becoming a "research university", it has been a great pride and happiness for us that our undergraduate students studying in different branches of science have been deemed worthy of TUBITAK support in research and development.
 

In line with the goals of increasing the success of our students, the IGU Office of Scientific Research Projects (BAPK) organizes project application and project execution process information events for our students and academics who volunteer to be consultants in their TUBITAK projects before each application period.
 

IGU students who applied to this important program, which encourages university students to participate in our country's research ecosystem, applied for projects individually or as a team together with their advisor faculty members. Then, they achieved success by going through various preliminary examinations and scientific evaluation stages. IGU students continue to produce, research, and develop by applying for projects in many areas within the scope of the 2023/2 period.
 

We congratulate our students and their advisors and wish them continued success.
