Projeleri

• The issues that we want to take part in Horizon Europe;

Main topics of projects are;

smart – autonomous

implementable solutions,

environment friendly,

responding to needs,

production technologies for cost reduction

And also focusing on warning technologies and structural precautions to determine effect of

global warming and disasters (such as earthquakes, floods, heavy and sudden precipitation,

storms)
