Researchers
The Research and Graduate Policy Directorate (RGP) supports the development of strategic objectives in research and the implementation of policies with a view towards encouraging the conversion of scientific and technological developments to social and economic benefit, and the advancement of research activities and innovative ventures.
The support we provide in the project development and application processes of research-focused grant projects include announcing calls for applications, identifying and notifying suitable candidates, helping the project prepare an application that satisfies program requirements, obtaining additional documents as necessary, partnering with the Industry Cooperation and Technology Licensing Office (ILO) to find industry partners and involving ILO for carrying out protocol processes, completing the application prior to the deadline, managing the contract process once the project is accepted and handing the project over to the Research Project Management Office (PMO), and if the application is rejected, looking into the reasons and informing the applicant to enable them to apply again.
Research Project Development Office (PDO) is responsible for managing processes related to project development and facilitation of academic studies for SU faculty and researchers, supporting the Research Awards, providing support to SU Internal Research Projects, coordinating the Research Ethics Council (REC) as necessary for the grant projects and academic studies of SU faculty and researchers as well as the dissertations of graduate students, managing the SU Personal Research Fund process, supporting the SU Internal Academic Activity application, acceptance and management processes, and contributing to the development of graduate policies.

Industry Cooperation and Technology Licensing Office (ILO) specializes in the funding of research projects entailing intensive collaboration with the industry that have completed their fundamental research phase and are close to going to market. The national TÜBİTAK TEYDEB programs as well as the EU Commission Horizon 2020 Industrial Leadership and Societal Challenges and ERA.NET programs fall within the scope of ILO. Other funding mechanisms supported by ILO include the Undersecretariat of Defense Industry's R&D Wide Area Calls (SAGA) and Program to Train Defense Industry Researchers (SAYP). ILO is primarily responsible for entrepreneurship, technology transfer, intellectual and industrial property management, and cooperation with the private sector.
The Research Project Management Office provides management support to all grant and contract projects where Sabancı University undertakes commitments in all processes involved, from kick-off to project conclusion.
The Research Project Management Office provides management support to all grant and contract projects where Sabancı University undertakes commitments in all processes involved, from kick-off to project conclusion.
Services include preliminary research for inventions by Sabancı University researchers, assessment and patent applications for inventions, and commercialization of technologies developed by Sabancı researchers through patent transers/licensing or starting industrial property-based spinoff companies. These processes are carried out by the Industry Cooperation and Technology Licensing Office in accordance with the Sabancı University Industrial Property Rights Management and Commercialization Policy.
Invention declarations:
The evaluation process begins with our researchers submitting their project outputs to ILO accompanied by an invention declaration. You can obtain this form on mySU.
Invention evaluation:
After the invention is declared, the results of the preliminary patent research and market survey performed by ILO specialists are shared with the applicants and the Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship Council (IPEC) members. Following a presentation by inventors to IPEC members, it is decided whether the university will provide patent application support for the invention in question. This commission consists of the Research and Graduate Policy Director, Nanotechnology Research and Application Center (SUNUM) Director, Industry Cooperation and Technology Licensing Office (ILO) Manager, Industrial Property and Licensing specialists, Inovent A.Ş. Manager, and other non-affiliated experts that may be consulted as necessary.
Patent application management:
All procedures regarding the patent application will be carried out by ILO. Applications are made in the name of Sabancı University. We may consult the Technology Assessment Council members during the national selection process for patent applications. TAC consists of experts not affiliated with the University.
