*Travel Support for Researcher Living Abroad

Our National Coordination Office TÜBİTAK offers travel support for potential Horizon Europe coordinators who will visit their potential partners in Türkiye. 

The support can be provided to project managers of the potential coordinator, and previous multi-partner Framework Project (Horizon Europe, H2020, FP7, etc.) experience is required.

This support covers the cost of an economy class flight ticket and accommodation expenses for the day before the event and up to one day after the event. The maximum budget for this support is 1500 Euros.

The potential partner must apply for the support; therefore, we recommend you to search among our event participants and start corresponding on the project ideas to benefit from this support.

Several documents need to be submitted by the visiting researcher during the application process. These include a declaration from the relevant institution or project management, indicating that the individual is acting as a coordinator, and a resume should also be provided as an attachment to this declaration.

The application must be made at least one month before the event, namely by 12 August 2024.
