The use of High-Performance Computing (HPC) has become vital not only in computer science but also in many scientific areas ranging from Covid-19 studies to space sciences. Thus, although HPC is at the heart of many small and large-scale collaborations, its relationship with collaboration is quite limited in the literature. The studies mainly focused on HPC return on investment. In this thesis, collaboration in studies using HPC is investigated from the researcher's perspective using HPC. The study is carried out specifically in Turkey to answer the following question: : “How should Turkey form its HPC environment regarding collaborative research?” Qualitative approach is employed collecting data through interviews with the researchers affiliated with Turkish universities. According to the findings, scarcity of resources, lack of personnel, and technical inadequacies in Turkey stand out. In addition to all these shortcomings, the lack of communication channels undermines collaboration most notably. In the light of these results, a structure under the roof of a common platform is proposed as a policy proposal. This structure is expected to support the collaboration of scientists using HPC in Turkey.
