  18. METU STRENGTHS

  19. METU STRENGTHS Human Resources • World-class faculty with Ph.D. degrees earned from most prominent universities– majority (70%)from institutions abroad • METU undergraduatestudents received from the top 1% of 1,800,000 applicants taking the National University Entrance Examination every year • Highly qualified body of graduate students • Dedicated and well-qualified administrative staff • More than 110,000 committed alumni organized under 15 national and 21 international alumni associations

  20. METU STRENGTHS A Research-Intensive University • Ratio of graduate students to total: 31 % • Largest share of research funding from The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), Ministry of Science, Technology and Industry, EU Framework Program • Research revenues accounting for over 35 % of all METU expenditures annually (including all payroll costs) • Ph.D. Degrees granted per year: 260+ (2011)

  21. METU STRENGTHS An International University • More than 1,800 internationaldegree students at Ankara and Cyprus campuses • Approximately 1,000 international applications each year • All engineering programs approved by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (from 1992 on; latest 2010) • Extensive experience of collaboration with universities abroad and high degree of participation in Erasmus and Erasmus-Mundus programs (230+ Erasmus agreements)

  22. METU STRENGTHS An International University • Premieruniversity in Turkey in terms of EU Framework Program(FP) participation • 51 completed and 8 ongoing FP6 projects with a budget of 178 million € • 1 completed and 31 ongoing FP7 projects with a budget of 106 million € • METU researchers carrying out a wide spectrum of international research projects (FP6, FP7, COST, EUREKA, MEDA, NATO, NSF, UN, World Bank, Jean Monnet)

  23. METU STRENGTHS An International University • Offering joint-degree programs in collaboration with universities abroad (4 undergraduate and 18 graduate degree programs with universities in US and Europe) • METU rated among the top world universities in several rankings (Times Higher Education, Leiden, Webometrics, URAP, and others) • METU ranked as the top university in Turkey in engineering and technology, basic sciences, and social sciences (HEAACT, QS, URAP, and others)

  24. METU STRENGTHS An Interdisciplinary and Diverse Campus • Departments representing different disciplines located in close proximity on the same campus • Availability of “minor” and “double-major” programs, and elective courses from other disciplines • Wide spectrum of interdisciplinary graduate programs and research centers • Students and academics from all parts of Turkey and more than 80 countries • Wealth of sports, cultural, arts events as well as scientific and professional meetings (METU rated as “Turkish University with Richest Social Life” by Newsweek-Turkey magazine)

  25. METU STRENGTHS Success in all three mission components Create Knowledge – research and development Disseminate Knowledge – education programs Apply Knowledge – work with industry and society • METU Revolving Fund largest in the country in industry revenues • Long tradition of playing an active role in acquiring critical technologies and creation of key institutions in Turkey • METU Technopark as first science park in Turkey

  26. METU Technopark • 260+R&D companies; 900,000+ sq.ft. floor area; 200 acres land area • 3,000 R&D workers; 3,500 employed in total • Incubation and pre-incubation centers • Extensive cooperative research between the faculty and industry • Support for establishment of new science parks in Turkey and Eurasia

  27. METU STRENGTHS A “MostTrustedInstitution” Community outreach and social responsibility have always been part of METU mission. • Creation of 30 km2of forest area on METU Ankara Campus, an initiative that received the“The Aga KhanAward” (1995) • Student Associations leading the nation in community outreach programs • METU Science and Society Initiative – Science and Technology Museum • Most extensive student scholarship program in the nation • Public and private sector institutions seeking counseling and consultancy from METU as the most reliable source of information and solution partner  Independent public opinion surveys rate METU among the most trusted/relied upon institutions in the society

  28. METU STRENGTHS An Innovative University Numerous“first”s and innovations introduced to the Turkish higher education and research area. Severalexamples: • First Turkish university to use English as medium of instruction • First Turkish university built on a campus • First Turkish university to use department, semester, and credit system • First Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Turkey (still serving as the DNS authority) • Pioneering Technopark in Turkey • First Campus abroad (Northern Cyprus Campus) • Establishment of first University Central Lab • Creation of Faculty Development Program (FDP) network

  29. Faculty Development Program (FDP) at METU

  30. WHAT ISFacultyDevelopment Program (FDP)? • Initiated in 2001, Faculty Development Program (FDP) is aninter-university network, with METU training faculty members for other Turkish universities • Turkish universities of FDP network sending their research assistants to METU for the duration of Ph.D. studies • After graduation from METU Ph.D. programs, assistants return to their universities to work as faculty members • Turkish State Planning Office (recently Turkish Higher Education Council) provide funds to support the FDP

  31. WHY?Faculty Development Program (FDP) • Shortage of qualified faculty members throughout the country • Sending students abroad for Ph.D. studies seen as a costly solution with increased risk of “braindrain” • METU graduate degrees accepted as world-class both in Turkey and abroad • Increased research and teaching collaboration among the network universities

  32. HOW?Structure of FDP Young faculty member Research Assistant FDP UNIVERSITY METU • Ph.D. candidates jointly selected by METU and FDP university • SPO or HEC providing funds per student SPO* or HEC** Funding (*) SPO: State Planning Organization (**) HEC: Higher Education Council

  33. HOW?Model of FDP • Research assistants of FDP universities nominated for METU graduate studies by their university (at some universities appointment as research assistant contingent on acceptance by METU) • Candidates jointly selected by METU and FDP university, subject to selection criteria of METU • FDP assistants become METU personnel «on a loan» by the FDP university during their Master’s and Doctoral studies

  34. HOW?Model of FDP • Duringthegraduatestudy • Candidate receives support for short-term overseas visits (maximum 3 months) as well as short-term domestic visits • Candidate is required to spend long-term overseas visits (6-12 months) as part of his/her research (at a top 500 university) • Candidate receives an Annual Project Support, which can be used for equipment, expendible supplies, and software in addition travel support. • After graduation, he/she is appointed as academic staff(assistant professor) in the FDP university

  35. Faculty Development Program (FDP)Turkey • 64 FDP universities (2011) • Nearly 500Ph.D. candidates in progress (2012) • 300graduates to date (2012) Ardahan Üniv. Map showing the initial network universities: 2001- 2005

  36. Faculty Development Program (FDP)International • 4 FDP Universities and 21 students from Cyprus (2011) • 3 FDP Universities and 14 students from Eurasia (2011)
