At Hacettepe University, research has a broad spectrum and multidisciplinary structure covering the fields of medicine-health, science-engineering, and social-humanities, as well as fine arts, music, and performing arts.
Research is managed through a circular process with planning, policy development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation components under the responsibility of a Vice-Rector. Developing research policies, determining research objectives and priorities, evaluating cooperation opportunities, diversifying project supports, planning financial resources, and managing university rankings are among the important objectives of this process.
The aim of the projects supported by the Hacettepe University Scientific Research Projects (BAP) Coordination Unit is to strengthen the university's research university identity and contribute to its international visibility by supporting competitive research for academic development in basic and applied fields in our University. The distribution of support to cover all academic disciplines from the fields of medical-health sciences, science-engineering sciences, social humanities, and the arts represented in our University is adopted as a basic principle.
BAP Coordination Unit supports comprehensive research projects with the unique value of Hacettepe University researchers, which include innovative approaches and have the potential to contribute to the scientific, technological, economic, social, and cultural development of our country with its results. Researchers involved in supported projects are expected to produce highly impacted outputs (research articles, patents).
Support is provided within the scope of the call to priority areas determined in line with the research policies of the university and our country. Among the supports provided, multidisciplinary research projects aimed at developing university-industry, university-public and university-university cooperation at national and international level have a special place. Hacettepe University, a research-oriented university, pays special attention to such research projects, especially aimed at strengthening its global outlook.
