VIII. Research Deanship (ARDEK) Workshop
Hosted by Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University on 19–20 November 2025, the “VIII. Research Deanships (ARDEK) Workshop” will be held with the aim of strengthening the research ecosystem of universities, enhancing R&D potential, and transforming university–industry collaborations into tangible outcomes. During the workshop, research groups from universities and R&D/design centers from the industry will come together to present their existing research capacities, strong areas, and collaboration opportunities. Throughout the event, presentations will be delivered by research group leaders and members, as well as industry R&D/design center representatives. Potentially collaborative groups and industry representatives will be matched, challenges faced in different fields will be discussed, and forward-looking project ideas will be developed by proposing solution strategies. The workshop is particularly aimed at laying the groundwork for the formation of national and international consortia within the scope of programs such as Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, TÜBİTAK 1004, and TÜSEB.
