Call summary

From the official text, opening part

Expected Outcome: Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes: Innovative and advanced XR hardware, advanced headsets, screens, wearables and haptic components, sensors and actuators, advanced chips for a deeper and closer-to-reality immersion, stimulating all human senses. Scope: In the recent years, hardware for Virtual Worlds made major breakthroughs, democratising headsets, sensors, actuators or haptic equipment. To keep this momentum and advancing further, new generation of XR equipment, wearable solutions and haptic components, as well as non-invasive brain computer interfaces for handsfree interaction, hardware or technologies will put the users at the very centre of virtual experiences, for even greater and realistic immersion, aiming at blurring the lines between the real and digital environments. To ensure this next generation of engaging and lifelike immersio… more

The fit is computed by code on every request. The call text (title, keywords, start of the official description) is compared with three sources: semantic similarity to the academic profile (50%), shared distinctive terms in YÖKSİS keywords and OpenAlex topics (25%) and publication content — titles, English abstracts and their Turkish translations (25%). Thanks to the translations, Turkish calls also meet papers written in English. Common words weigh little; below 40% is not shown. A subject hint only — not an eligibility, capacity or merit assessment. Hidden profiles are never listed.
