International Fellowship Programme, researchers from the elite universities
in the world will be invited to Türkiye.
CoHE President Erol Özvar stated that, international scientists from
abroad, who are at the doctoral thesis stage in the fields of Ottoman
History, General Turkish History, Turkology, Turkish Language and
Literature or Turkish Culture at leading universities around the world, and
those who have completed their doctoral theses in the last two years will
be invited to Türkiye with the YÖK International Scientists Support Project
to further their research.
"This program will contribute significantly to the internationalization of
Turkish higher education as it will enable international researchers
working on Türkiye to benefit from primary sources during their studies and
to interact more with the academics at Turkish universities. We plan to
increase the number of academics we will invite and their fields of study
in the coming years," he said.
