MEMS activities at METU have been continuing since 1995 in the framework of a number of national/international projects, including NATO-SfS (TU-MICROSYSTEMS), US NSF, COST, FP6 (AMICOM), and several national projects. During these projects, a wide variety of sensors and devices have been developed, such as pressure sensors, CMOS infrared detectors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, humidity sensors, temperature sensors, frost sensors, biosensors, energy harvesters, and various RF MEMS componentsIn 1998, METU took over a 35 Million Euros invested IC fabrication facility from the government, and this facility has been converted to METU-MEMS Center. The infrastructure of the facility has been upgraded substantially with national funds totaling over 20 Million Euros, and the facility allows 4”, 6”, and partially 8” wafer processing. However, there is still need for funding to hire more researchers and train them in this high-tech field, to develop standard MEMS fabrication processes, to further upgrade the facility by purchasing some critical equipment, and to increase international activities for networking and collaboration of the Center. These will help (i) to complete the infrastructure for development of advanced industrial sensor systems and for easy collaboration with European research centers with the use of compatible equipments and standard fabrication procedures, (ii) to increase the involvement of the Center and Turkish industrial companies in FP7 projects, (iii) to extend the research subjects of the Center to new and exciting fields, (iv) to increase the interest of the industry and young scientists to MEMS, and (v) to create new job opportunities and better working conditions which can attract Turkish researchers abroad to Turkey, helping to reverse the brain-drain. In summary, this proposal will enable a high quality research center, which is already active in thematic priorities’ domain of the EC FP7 to become more integrated in the European Research Area.

GAP: An Irrigation And Development Project In Turkey
Taraklı, Duran (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 1989)
The Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) in Turkey, which was initiated in 1976 with the Karakaya Dam consists of thirteen major projects. Twenty-two dams and seventeen hydroelectric power plants (HPP) with a total capacity of 7 561 MW will be constructed as part of it. GAP will provide irrigation for 1641282 hectares of land and will have an annual output of 25 003 GWh of power (1). Turkey has about 27.7 million hectares (ha) of land suitable for agriculture. Surveys show that it is economically feasible to...
METU Instructional Technology Support Office Accelerating Return on Investment Through e learning Faculty Development
Gürbüz, Tarkan; Akteke Öztürk, Başak; Kubuş, Okan; Çağıltay, Kürşat (null; 2008-03-01)
The changing conditions caused by the social, economical and technological parameters are forcing higher education institutions to maximize their investments in instructional technology equipment, facilities, and training in order to provide new learning experiences for students. However, these investments can only be valuable for the faculties if conscious actions are taken to improve the use of instructional technology in educational settings. Most of the leading universities recently started to provide I...

SeaDataCloud - Further developing the pan-European infrastructure for marine and ocean data management (SeaDataCloud)
Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan(2020-11-31)
The SeaDataNet pan-European infrastructure has been developed by NODCs and major research institutes from 34 countries. Over 100 marine data centres are connected and provide discovery and access to data resources for all European researchers. Moreover, SeaDataNet is a key infrastructure driving several portals of the European Marine Observation and Data network (EMODnet), initiated by EU DG-MARE for Marine Knowledge, MSFD, and Blue Growth. SeaDataNet complements the Copernicus Marine Environmental Monitori...
Closure to "Optimal capital structure model for BOT power projects in Turkey" by Sandalkhan Bakatjan, Metin Arikan, and Robert L. K. Tiong
Bakatjan, S; Arıkan, Mehmet Fırat; Tiong, RLK (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-03-01)
nterest in the Build/Operate/Transfer (BOT) scheme for infrastructure projects has been growing rapidly, and numerous projects have been implemented around the world. Through BOT projects, a government reallocates the risks and rewards in the development of large infrastructure projects to the private sector. One key aspect to the successful implementation of the BOT concept in any country is the raising of finance by project sponsors. Financial engineering techniques and capital structuring skills are requ...
