What is the 100/2000 YÖK Doctoral Scholarship?
Considering Turkey's goal of being one of the top 10 economies in the world by 2023, achieving this goal will only be possible with the production of quality knowledge and especially through the factor of qualified human resources.
The 100/2000 YÖK Doctoral Scholarships Project was initiated in 2017 by the Council of Higher Education for the first time in the history of higher education to support students in doctoral programs at state universities, with the aim of producing quality knowledge in priority areas for our country.
The performance of higher education-focused processes plays a significant role in determining the positions of countries in the global competitive environment. In this context, many countries have initiated programs focused on higher education competition and particularly on the development of researcher human resources.
What is the importance of this project in Turkey's doctoral education?
Among the higher education-focused goals in our country's science, technology, and innovation policies is "Conducting Studies for Quantitative and Qualitative Enhancement of Human Resources with Doctoral Degrees."
In terms of doctoral human resources, our country has 0.4 doctoral human resources per 1000 people. This rate is 2.2 in China, 1.7 in the USA, 1.5 in the European Union, 1.4 in South Korea, 1.2 in Canada, and 1.1 in Japan.
The 100/2000 YÖK Doctoral Scholarships Project is designed with a long-term and participatory approach, considering our country's needs and development areas. Under this program, 2000 doctoral human resources will be trained in 100 priority areas for our country. The employment of these human resources is aimed not only at academia but also at processes focused on the development of the public and private sectors.
