The “TÜBA and TÜBİTAK Science Awards Ceremony”, organized jointly by TÜBA and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) under the auspices of the Presidency, was hosted by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır, TÜBA President Prof. Muzaffer Şeker, TÜBİTAK President Prof. Orhan Aydın, rectors from different universities, award-winning academics and their families attended the ceremony held at Beştepe National Congress and Culture Center with the participation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

We are taking firm steps towards the goal of the era leading Türkiye.
In his speech at the ceremony, President Erdoğan said, “We are taking firm steps towards the goal of a great and powerful Türkiye that leads the era, rather than lagging behind it. We do not want to be satisfied with the successes that come and burst like soap bubbles. As a country and a nation, we stand firm on the ground and take steady steps. We make our plans for the medium and long term. We are in a much better position today compared to 2002.”

We are presenting these awards to 25 young scientists.
“Stating that a total of 7 works were deemed worthy of awards within the scope of TÜBA-TESEP, including four Scientific Copyright Awards, one Halil İnalcık special award, one Kemal Karpat special award and one jury special award, Erdoğan said, “Thus, we have given TÜBA TESEP awards to 246 Turkish scientific copyright works so far. Our TÜBA Outstanding Young Scientist Awards stand out as one of the first and most unique examples of the formation of a young academy in the world. This year, we are presenting these awards to 25 young scientists conducting scientific studies at 20 different universities.”

President Erdoğan shared the information that the number of young scientists who have won TÜBA GEBİP awards since 2001 increased to 669 and continued as follows: “We are presenting TÜBA International Academy Awards in three different categories to 4 distinguished scientists who have distinguished themselves with their original, pioneering and groundbreaking works at the international level. Together with these 4 names, we will present TÜBA International Academy Awards to a total of 32 pioneers of science. To date, 947 scientists have received TÜBA awards, which fill an important gap in the field of international science diplomacy.”
