The TÜBİTAK 2209-A program is one of the important support programs aimed at promoting a research culture by encouraging associate and undergraduate students to conduct scientific research. The fact that five projects from our Vocational School were awarded funding in the same period is a strong reflection of our students' interest in scientific production, the dedicated work of our supervising academics, and the research-centered educational approach of our institution.
At Atlas University Vocational School, we continue to educate our students not only with professional knowledge and skills, but also as individuals who research, question, produce solutions, and contribute to scientific development. We wholeheartedly congratulate all the students and their supervising academics who have qualified for support, and wish them continued success.
