In line with its vision of sustainable agriculture, Toros Agri aims to implement projects that can guide current uncertainties, support agricultural development and national interests, and realise projects that will contribute to domestic and local production. The company also provides opportunities to support young researchers in the fields of basic sciences and engineering through R&D studies and university-industry cooperation. Cooperation with advisory academicians from different universities and different disciplines is pursued in the projects carried out at the R&D Center.

Projects applied by Toros Agri within the scope of TÜBİTAK’s 2244 Industry Ph.D. programme, which aims to employ the necessary researchers for the studies to be carried out in line with the needs of private sector organisations, were entitled to receive support from TÜBİTAK. Works regarding the aforementioned projects continue at the Toros Agri R&D Center.

ACTIVE PROJECTS

The project, which was applied by Toros Agri R&D Center within the scope of TÜBİTAK’s call for 2244 Industry Ph.D. Programme in 2019 and found worthy of support, aims to train a qualified workforce with doctorate degrees needed in the industry within the framework of industry-university cooperation, encourage the employment of researchers with a Ph.D. degree in the industry, and promote research infrastructure-industry cooperation. The project is coordinated by Prof. Bahadır K. Körbahti and Prof. Ayla Özer from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Mersin University and Prof. Recep Özen from the Department of Chemistry at the same institution. Within the scope of the project, which is planned to last for 84 months in total, theoretical and experimental studies are carried out with three scholars who are included in the doctoral programme. In line with the goals of the project, high value-added project practices are carried out in order to train three doctoral students and ensure their employment in the industry.
