Intro
GREETINGS FROM OUR GENERAL COORDINATOR
There’s a lot of excitement here at Atmosfer Technology Transfer Office (TTO)
as we publish our first issue of our new quarterly magazine. Here, we hope
you’ll find some interesting news about current and local projects, technology
trends, and information to keep you notified about upcoming grants, training
opportunities, and other updates to support your career development.
Our cover story “Why We Do What We Do” focuses on the journey of people
just like you… insights about applying for European Union (EU) fellowships
directly from our local Marie Curie fellows… experiences as an entrepreneur
including the good and the bad right from our local Teknopark Izmir
companies.
This magazine is also a resource to find information about national and
international support available to you. In this issue, we highlight annual
TUBITAK support programs and upcoming EU calls categorized by scientific
area.
Inside the magazine, you will also find details about the Atmosfer TTO Photography Contest
that we are sponsoring to celebrate our first issue! This issue’s contest asks you to show us
what “Innovation” means to you. The contest is open to anyone and everyone.
We would like to thank all of you for your support of our office and all who contributed to
the development of this magazine. If you are interested in being a part of the next issue, have
ideas for articles, or would like your events to be included, please contact Atmosfer TTO at
[email protected]. Enjoy the issue!
With my Regards/
Saygılarımla,
