Research Policy
Policies to support the research strategy of Izmir Bakırçay University emerge at various institutional levels. In accordance with the policies determined at these institutional levels, the university carries out the necessary work to ensure that research support is provided at the regional, national, and international levels.
- Faculties: Establishing a connection to the university's research strategy by integrating health technologies as a research topic. (e.g., offering courses related to the subject, developing programs related to the subject, etc.)
- Research centres: Determining which areas of health technologies are covered by the working frameworks and identifying the relationships of the studies. (e.g. conducting projections, determining interdisciplinary relationships, etc.)
- Technology Development Centre (TEKMER): Which areas of health technologies will be focused on and the assessments regarding the process. (e.g. planning the contribution of relationships with other institutional levels and units to the technology development process, patent tracking, commercialization plans, etc.)
- Organized Research and Business Centre (Teknokent): Determining the dimensions of sectoral and industrial relations. (e.g. preparation of cooperation protocols, planning resource sharing, incorporating feedback from the business world into processes, etc.)
- SRP: Directing research project supports with a strategic perspective.
- International collaborations: Preparation of a strategy-based roadmap abroad.
- Research Supports and Infrastructures (RSI): Evaluation of research policies and strategies within certain frameworks, implementation and effective analysis of research outputs within the scope of academic performance criteria.
It is important for policy makers to obtain researchers' opinions regarding the determination of activities that support policies. In this regard, the identification of necessary planned supports, the visibility of the university's research focus, and the facilitation of appropriate sharing of scientific knowledge are ensured. The alignment of these activities with other strategic features of the university creates a broader range of implementation opportunities.
In relation to the role of various interdisciplinary research partnerships across different disciplines in both the emergence of scientific knowledge and the development of relevant technology, some multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research priorities at the intersection of scientific fields, including life sciences and medicine, engineering, physical and natural sciences, as well as social and human sciences, are presented below alphabetically.
