The 2250–Graduate Scholarships Performance Program aims to encourage doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers to conduct research, strengthen their sense of belonging to projects, enhance their performance and motivation, and contribute to the development of the research ecosystem. Within this program, the academic achievements, publications, contributions to R&D activities, and project performance of the fellows are evaluated based on specified criteria.

As a result of this evaluation, İzel PERKİTEL has been granted additional performance scholarship support with a full score, thanks to her publications in WoS/Scopus-indexed journals and outstanding performance in the project.

Congratulations to our researcher! We wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
