Turkish-German Research Networks in Academia

Data Set and Basic Results

Elif KORKMAZ

This data set was created to analyze research networks of the European Framework Programmes FP5 , FP6 and FP7 that Turkey and Germany has a collaborative project.

The time periods are FP5: 1999-2002, FP6: 2002-2006 and FP7:2007-2013.

To generate this data we use European Commission’s Community Research and Development Information Service (CORDIS) webpage.

Data Set

In this context, we seperated the framework programmes three different subgroups as we can see in the table below.

The joint projects between theese two countries increases.

These two countries have high number of projects especially in;

Information Technologies, Energy, Nanoscience-Nanotechnology, Sustainable Development, SME and Knowledge-Based Bioeconomy programmes.

Germany has big share in all the framework programmes that Turkey enrolled.

Results

We expect strong relationship between these two countries in terms of research network but we are going to reach the big picture and detailed information after network analysis
