TUBITAK 2244 Industry PhD Programme
Funds doctoral projects through a TUBITAK industry-linked programme, pairing Turkish firms with doctorate work focused on an applied company challenge.
TUBITAK 2244 Industry PhD Programme sits under TUBITAK and links doctoral research to sponsoring firms. It is built to turn company problems into a structured PhD track, with industry as the anchor and the university side supporting the academic work. The programme offers TRY 300,000 to TRY 1.5 million over four years and follows an annual cycle. Applicants must be for-profit organisations in Turkey, and the scheme requires a consortium. Universities, research organisations, and individuals are excluded, so the company side has to be ready to host and support the doctoral arrangement. The best fit is a firm with a specific technical problem, an appetite for long-horizon research, and the organisational capacity to supervise a PhD student over several years. Strong applications will show a clear research question, a credible sponsor, and a practical reason the doctoral work belongs inside the company rather than in a short-term consultancy. The programme is most useful when the company can commit people, supervision, and a defined topic across several academic cycles.
