In the past 6 years, a number of targeted initiatives, funded by the European Commission via its information society and RTD programmes and Greek infrastructure development actions, have articulated a successful regional development actions in South East Europe that can be used as a role model for other international developments. The SEEREN (South-East European Research and Education Networking initiative) project, through its two phases, established the SEE segment of the pan-European G 'EANT network and successfully connected the research and scientific communities in the region. Currently, the SEE-LIGHT project is working towards establishing a dark-fiber backbone that will interconnect most national Research and Education networks in the region. On the distributed computing and storage provisioning i.e. Grid plane, the SEE-GRID (South-East European GRID e-Infrastructure Development) project, similarly through its two phases, has established a strong human network in the area of scientific computing and has set up a powerful regional Grid infrastructure, and attracted a number of applications from different fields from countries throughout the South-East Europe. The current SEEGRID-SCI project, ending in April 2010, empowers the regional user communities from fields of meteorology, seismology and environmental protection in common use and sharing of the regional e-Infrastructure. Current technical initiatives in formulation are focusing on a set of coordinated actions in the area of HPC and application fields making use of HPC initiatives. Finally, the current SEERA-EI project brings together policy makers - programme managers from 10 countries in the region. The project aims to establish a communication platform between programme managers, pave the way towards common e-Infrastructure strategy and vision, and implement concrete actions for common funding of electronic infrastructures on the regional level. The regional vision on establishing an e-Infrastructure compatible with European developments, and empowering the scientists in the region in equal participation in the use of pan-European infrastructures, is materializing through the above initiatives. This model has a number of concrete operational and organizational guidelines which can be adapted to help e-Infrastructure developments in other world regions. In this paper we review the most important developments and contributions by the SEEGRID-SCI project.

SEE-GRID eInfrastructure for regional eScience (SEE-GRID-SCI) Şener, Cevat(2010-4-30) eInfrastructure in Europe has reached a mature state where the GÉANT network forms a backbone on top of which a distributed computing infrastructure – the Grid – provides processing and storage services for eScience research. The South-East European eInfrastructure initiatives are committed to ensuring equal participation of the less-resourced countries of the region in European trends. SEEREN initiative has established a regional network and its GÉANT connection and the SEE-GRID initiative the regional Gri...
A Life cycle assessment based decision support tool for early-design phase of mass-housing neighbourhoods in Turkey Kayaçetin, Nuri Cihan; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2018) In developing countries such as Turkey, the main driving force of economy is the Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) industry. Hence, rapid urban expansion dramatically increases the pressure on the existing infrastructure which affects buildings, public transportation and overall energy usage. In order to control urbanization, governments facilitate mass-housing projects in increasing numbers. Higher rates in construction require an immediate need for methods of assessing the environmental impacts ...
A Comparative analysis of local administration reforms of Poland and Turkey on the way to the European Union Accession Acar, Yeliz; Aksoy, Şinasi; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2008) This thesis aims to analyze the reform projects and the implementation of these projects both in Poland and in Turkey within a comparative perspective in the field of local administration. Focusing on the similarities and differences between the two cases, it tries to elaborate on the role, significance and contributions of the European Union to the reform processes of these two countries, and draws lessons from the Polish experience for Turkey. In addition, by comparing the Polish case with the Turkish cas...
Estimating the future role and success of the Istanbul Airport: a regional planning perspective Karadoğan, Baran Can; Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih; Department of City and Regional Planning (2019) Today, the aviation sector is considered as the driving force for the economies of countries, regions and cities and contributes not only to economic developments but also to social development. Every day, new air transport connections are being created all over the world and people's demand for air transport is growing. In order to get a share from the development of the aviation sector, which is a very important field in today's economies, countries all over the world are in harsh competition. Within the ...
The process of reform of the structural funds in European Union Özmen, Zelal; Kahraman, Sevilay; Department of European Studies (2004) The Structural Funds, (namely the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Guidance Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund and lastly the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance) being the most important instruments of European Community Regional Policy have gone through a process of reform since their establishment as a consequence of European Union integration. This thesis aims to analyze the process of reform of the Structural Funds taking processes ...
