The 7th cycle of the "BIPM-TUBITAK UME Project Placements" Program, implemented in cooperation with TÜBİTAK UME and the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), started to be organized as of September 2, 2024.

In the 7th cycle of the program, 10 participants from Argentina, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Costa Rica, Kenya, Egypt, Uzbekistan, Russia and Saudi Arabia were accepted to the program. 

10 participants in the program, which started on September 2, 2024, will be trained by TÜBİTAK UME experts in their own research fields between 1 and 3 months and will continue their research on the project topics they request by integrating them into laboratory studies. The training and accommodation expenses of the researchers accepted to the program will be covered by TÜBİTAK UME.

The BIPM - TÜBİTAK UME Project Placements Program not only strengthens the cooperation ties established with the metrology institutes of the participating countries, but also gives TÜBİTAK UME a serious impetus to raise the bar in the metrology ecosystem.

The success of this training program, which has made a significant contribution to the integration of developing country institutes into the international system and has been carried out jointly with BIPM since its inception, has an important prestige value in terms of consolidating TÜBİTAK UME's place in the "league of champions" category of the metrology world.
