The Scientific and Technological Research Institution of Turkey and the National Natural Science Foundation of China will cooperate on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, focusing on cancer and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as on joint projects on agricultural sustainability.
The two bodies have issued a call for bilateral collaboration on research projects, one of which is “Cancer Immunotherapy and Clinical Translational Research.” This project aims to develop medical treatments, such as drugs and vaccines, to enhance the immune system’s ability to fight cancer cells.
Researchers from Turkey and China will conduct oncology studies using large-scale datasets and AI.
The research will also include a study “Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound Medicine,” in which researchers will leverage AI to make three-dimensional anatomical images through the development of magnetic resonance technologies.
The “Green and Sustainable Agriculture” project will focus on research related to the European Green Deal, which aims to ensure food security, combat biodiversity loss and reduce the environmental and climate impacts of the EU food system. Turkey and the EU are collaborating on the initiative.
Researchers based in Turkey will collaborate with their Chinese counterparts as project partners, as unilateral applications will not be accepted. The call will be open for applications submitted on the website of the Türkiye Scientific and Technological Research Institute until May 30, 23:59 Turkish time (2059 GMT).
The project funding ceilings, excluding overhead costs, are 3 million Turkish liras ($79,000) for qualified Turkish partners and 5 million Turkish liras (1 million Chinese yuan or $131,660) for Chinese partners.
A total of eight projects are planned to be funded, each with a maximum duration of 36 months. The total duration of the international visit for Turkish research partners is limited to 60 days per year.
The research institutions of the country that will send visiting researchers will be responsible for covering all travel, accommodation and other expenses according to their specific regulations. Project proposals will be evaluated based on scientific and technological excellence, methodology, project management, the importance of bilateral cooperation and potential impact.
