In the Internal Panel Evaluation Program a panel consisting of at least three academics is formed for the project proposals prepared by researchers. Project evaluators and project owners are present in the panel. The aim is to strengthen the proposed projects in line with the opinions of the panelist referees.
Withinthe scope of the Doctoral Thesis Proposal Research Project Program it is aimed for doctoral students to gain basic competencies such as being able to recognize concepts related to research projects such as originality, purpose, literature-based needs analysis, target, impact and result, and being able to write, criticize and evaluate a research project.
