The application process for the 8th Cycle of the “BIPM-TÜBİTAK UME Project Placement” Program, implemented in collaboration with TÜBİTAK UME and the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), has started as of February 4, 2025.
Researchers who are eligible to participate in the program at the end of the application process, which will continue until April 6, 2025, will receive training from TÜBİTAK UME researchers in their own research areas for 1 to 3 months and will continue their research on the project topics they requested by being integrated into laboratory studies. The program is planned to start on September 1, 2025.
The BIPM - TÜBİTAK UME Project Placement Program, which has been successfully carried out since 2018 and has attracted a total of 67 researchers from 33 countries to date, not only strengthens the cooperation ties established with the metrology institutes of the participating countries, but also provides serious momentum to TÜBİTAK UME in raising its strength in the metrology ecosystem.
The success of this training program, which contributes to the integration of developing country institutes into the international metrology system, also carries significant prestige value in terms of strengthening TÜBİTAK UME's place in the "champions league" category of the metrology world.
