Empowering Disaster-Affected Scholars through Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration and Capacity Building

This project supports early career researchers (ECRs) in Türkiye affected by the 2023 earthquake. It aims to rebuild academic capacity through interdisciplinary knowledge exchange, professional development, and networking. The project includes 15 online and 3 in-person workshops, researcher exchange visits, and a virtual academic community. By enhancing research skills, mentoring, and collaboration, it fosters resilience in higher education. A key outcome is laying the groundwork for a joint PhD programme, ensuring long-term impact and sustainable academic partnerships between UK and Turkish institutions.
