Scientific Research Projects Coordinatorship (BAP)

I am Associate Professor Mesut IŞIK, currently serving as a coordinator at Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University Scientific Research Projects Coordinator. Our university established the BAP (Scientific Research Projects) coordinatorship in 2010, in accordance with the framework regulation of the higher education law numbered 2547. Initially, our instructors are eligible to participate as project coordinators, and recently graduated researchers with a doctorate also contribute to BAP (Scientific Research Projects) as coordinators. Additionally, our undergraduate and graduate students participate as researchers and scholars in these projects, joining different groups based on their academic level. Among the various project types, postgraduate industry-supported projects and postgraduate thesis projects within our university are particularly popular among our students, as they provide financial support for their thesis research. These projects are carried out under the guidance of our faculty members, with students serving as researchers and scholars.For graduate thesis projects, both graduate and doctoral students participate as researchers. We also have project types that are of interest to our undergraduate students, such as general-purpose projects, disciplined projects, and thematic projects with incentives. These projects cover a wide range of disciplines. If students are interested in working with professors from other disciplines, they can apply through the multi-disciplinary project type, which typically offers higher financial support compared to other projects. General-purpose projects are particularly suitable for interdisciplinary research, and students can apply for financial support through any project if they have project ideas or need funding. If their applications are evaluated and accepted, students can receive scholarships within the scope of BAP (Scientific Research Projects) draft prepared by YÖK (Higher Education Institution) based on the budget possibilities of universities. It is important for students to meet with relevant professors and participate in various projects within the framework of BAP (Scientific Research Projects) or through National and International funds to gain academic and project management experience during their university education. This is a crucial step for students to enhance their skills and opportunities after graduation, as they can apply to projects in diverse fields and even create their own businesses. BAP (Scientific Research Projects) not only supports students and professors within the university, but also manages the budget and financial resources of projects received from National and International funds. We will continue to provide support to our students in this regard.We warmly welcome all prospective students who will choose Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University in the coming years, and wish them success in their upcoming exams.
