Six projects developed by Sabancı University were chosen to receive support from the TÜBİTAK Priority Areas R&D Project Support Program (1003). The objective of the program is to support domestic R&D projects within priority areas designated by the National Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy that observe the dynamics of their respective scientific or technological field and have traceable targets.
Projects that will receive support within the TÜBİTAK Priority Areas R&D Project Support Program (1003):
FENS Faculty Member and Project Implementer Dr. Cengiz Kaya and Project Researcher Dr. Yusuf Ziya Menceloğlureceived support for their project "Development and Characterization of Boron Carbide-Reinforced Lightweight and Flexible Nanocomposites for Use as Structural and Personal Shielding Materials in Nuclear Medicine Facilities” within the TÜBİTAK 1003 - Call for Development and Wider Implementation of Novel Boron Products and Process Technologies".
