Results in brief

CO-FUNDED Brain Circulation Scheme 2

The aim of CoCirculation2 program is to invite Experienced Researchers of any nationality to both academic and non-academic research performing organizations located in Turkey, to enhance the career development of Experienced Researchers wishing to diversify their individual competence through advanced training, international and inter-sectoral mobility opportunities through incoming mobility into Turkey. The programme responds to the challenges sometimes faced by researchers, offering them attractive working conditions and the opportunity to move between academic and other settings. TÜBİTAK particularly supports the researchers that are having challenging situations. The flexible mobility rule will apply to four groups of researchers. Researchers, who have refugee status, who wants to return researching and restart their career after a career brake, who have already researching experience in Turkey and wants to reintegrate to Turkey from Non-EU countries, who wants to divers their projects in an organization from the non-academic sector. Enhancing the potential and future career perspectives of researchers by funding excellent research and providing attractive working conditions, the CoCirculation2 offer high quality professional opportunities open to researchers of any age, nationality or discipline. Attracting 100 researchers who are non-residents to Turkey to work for longer periods in Turkish research performing organizations will be beneficial to the research organizations and to the Turkish research landscape, as well as ERA in general. The objectives of CoCirculation2 are to enhance the career development of 100 Experienced Researchers wishing to diversify their individual competence through advanced training, international and inter-sectoral mobility opportunities through incoming mobility into Turkey.

Project objective

CoCirculation2 is a 5-year project aiming to invite experienced researchers to both academic and non-academic research performing organizations located in Turkey. Within this context, 100 experienced researchers of any nationality who wish to engage in incoming mobility and to spend a period of 24 months in Turkey will be able to apply for a fellowship. 4 calls for proposals will be published. The program will have a bottom-up approach. The evaluation and selection procedures as well as recruitment procedures are in line with the conditions in the European Charter and Code. CoCirculation2 is the follow up project of the “Co-funded Brain Circulation Scheme (Co-Circulation)”, which has been funded under the FP7-PEOPLE-2011-COFUND call. Compared to the current Co-Circulation program, Co-Circulation2 will bring the evaluation and selection process closer to recommendations in the Charter and Code, allow for secondments, improve the training offer for fellows and improve the financial and social conditions of the fellowships. CoCirculation2 offers transnational mobility, career development and personal training opportunities to the researchers. In line with the European Commission objectives, the project will contribute to the potential and future career perspectives of researchers in academy and industry while enhancing their international networking and interdisciplinary skills. CoCirculation2 will create a new cohort of Experienced Researchers who have acquired relevant scientific and transferable skills during their research project and other activities during their fellowship. These skills will prepare them for the next steps in their professional career, either in academia or in non-academia, and either in Turkey or beyond. Turkish and European Research Area as a whole will benefit from the contribution of the CoCirculation2 fellows to the research landscape. TÜBİTAK will contribute 55% of the total budget while European Commission is requested to co-fund 45%.
