Universities to Receive R&D Support are Announced

Within the scope of 4^th Component of Technical Assistance for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Support for Municipalities and Universities (YEVDES) Project, the evaluation of technical support applications for R&D projects that are developed by universities has been completed and projects to receive support are determined.

56 different project applications were graded by the Project Evaluation Committee. Factors such as institutional capacity and past project experience of the university, information regarding project coordinator or team leader and other members of the research group, envisaged benefits of the proposed project in the context of national R&D priorities, strategies and the plans of research groups for the dissemination of project were considered during the evaluation of the projects.

Within the scope of the component, expert support will be provided to a total of 12 research groups, and 6 research groups will have the opportunity to observe the best practices in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency on site by attending study visits abroad.

Teams who are qualified to receive support must confirm their applications by July 1, 2020. If any research group waives its right to receive support or does not submit the documents to be requested by the Technical Assistance Team, the research groups on the reserve list will be qualified to receive support.

Technical Assistance Team will contact the team leaders and project coordinators of the research groups that are eligible for support and determine the implementation schedule.
