Project description
Training researchers in Turkey to promote blue and green development
An international postdoctoral fellowship programme in Turkey will promote research in the green and blue economy, which are aimed at encouraging sustainable development. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the ENRICH-TOGETHER project will provide a timely opportunity for Middle East Technical University (METU), Turkey’s leading research institution, to enhance the international mobility element of its national programme. It will offer 20 researchers prospects to diversify their skills. The aim is to provide a unique experience for next-generation green and blue transition researchers. The project will also align the Turkish research and innovation landscape with the core values of the EU’s Human Resources Strategy for Researchers.
Objective
Middle East Technical University (METU), Turkey’s leading research university, is promoting research in Green and Blue Transition via an international postdoctoral fellowship programme with incoming mobility to Turkey. ENRICH-TOGETHER provides a timely opportunity for METU to enhance the international mobility element of its national programme by offering 20 researchers prospects to diversify their individual competence with advanced research facilities; international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral mobility opportunities; and tailor-made training (13 compulsory cross-cutting, 15 elective transferrable skills courses) and career development, all enriched with the capacities of implementing and associated partners. Selection is based on 2 open calls, bottom-up proposal development, 60+ supervisors to choose from and OTM-R policy. Attractive working conditions are provided for 24 months in a work/life balanced campus. Fellows deepen their knowledge and expand their network via secondments, CoCreation events, an International Green and Blue Transition World Congress; all of which unite the ENRICH-TOGETHER community (12 countries) of one implementing partner - METU-GÜNAM, and 17, 5, 4 and 2 associated partners from academia, industry, NGOs and governmental bodies, respectively. The tailor-made DEC plans of Rs will exploit the vast array of opportunities provided by the support offices of METU. ENRICH-TOGETHER (i) provides a unique experience for next generation Green and Blue Transition researchers able to translate scientific breakthroughs to benefit European society and economy; (ii) reinforce METU’s and partner organizations’ position and visibility at a global level; and (iii) strengthen Europe's human capital base in R&I. The co-creative environment of ENRICH-TOGETHER supports its vision to better align the Turkish R&I landscape to the core values of the EU HRS4R by giving METU -the first university in Turkey to obtain the HR Excellence in Research Award.
