The newly published guide, “Funding Synergies Manual,” is now available to empower researchers, SMEs, public bodies, and civil society organisations in Türkiye by demonstrating how national, territorial, and European instruments can be combined across the quadruple helix to advance research, innovation, and enterprise.
Developed under the "Technical Assistance for Türkiye in Horizon Europe" project, the manual offers deep expert insights into combining national (TÜBİTAK, KOSGEB, TÜSEB, Development Agencies), regional/cross-border (Interreg, IPA-CBC), and European funding programmes (Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, Erasmus+, etc.) into coherent, high-impact pathways.
Key highlights inside the manual:
- Comprehensive Instrument Mapping: In-depth guide to national, regional, and EU direct funding mechanisms available for Turkish actors during the 2021–2027 programming period.
- 7 Actionable Synergy Plays: Step-by-step scenarios tailored for academia, SMEs, public authorities, and civil society to build sequential, parallel, or layered funding strategies.
- Operational Synergy Toolkit: Hands-on tools including Pathway Planners, Synergy Concept Notes, Cost-Separation Matrices, and Seal of Excellence Re-Routers.
- Audit-Proof Compliance: Strategic guidelines on cost separability and avoiding double-funding risks across combined instruments
