Ministry Restructures Scientific Research Management
To prevent scientific research from remaining confined behind laboratory walls, a comprehensive management reform targeting technology transfer and commercialization is being prepared.
The Ministry of National Education and Training is planning new regulations in the management of science, technology, and innovation projects in order to prevent research results from remaining in the laboratory and to promote technology transfer.
New Era Goals in Research
The Ministry of National Education and Training plans to implement a management reform to limit the situation where research results remain in the laboratory environment or are only published scientifically.
The new regulations prepared within this scope aim for projects to contribute more to social and economic life.
Basic and Applied Research Requirements
A new draft circular introduced for science, technology, and innovation projects funded or commissioned by the Ministry mandates that basic research projects be published in reputable international journals and support doctoral education.
In the field of applied research and technology development, technologies and products with the potential to be applied, transferred, or commercialized are brought to the forefront.
Funding Processes and Expert Participation
The drafted text grants high priority to the participation of businesses, investors, and innovation experts in funding processes.
It aims for stakeholders to play an active role at every stage of the projects to ensure that processes are conducted more transparently and efficiently.
Risk Acceptance Mechanism and Digitalization
The new system also incorporates a risk acceptance mechanism that distinguishes scientific risks from administrative violations.
Additionally, by ensuring that records are submitted via the online public service portal and digital platforms, it aims to reduce bureaucracy and promote digitalization.
