EU’s Open Science: an Impetus for Turkey’s Innovation Potential

Abstract

The concept of open science includes the development of studies by researchers around the world and serves open access to the scientific world. These studies contribute greatly to researchers, institutions, and thus to the progress of science. The contribution of the European Union to open science gives great support to the R & D and innovation projects offered worldwide, and the project calls for the European Union Project Program by the European Commission are among the major actors in this field. Turkey's EU efforts to integrate research and innovation potential is increasing in the last 5 years. These studies indicate that Turkey's accession to the European Union Project is ongoing with the announcement of the program, including the academies and scientific perspective through national spots. European Union Project programs; HORIZON2020, ERA-NET, EUREKA show a great contribution rate of significant importance worldwide. This article confronts us relatively unrecognized value of the research findings with Turkey 2019 data is taken into account statistics of Turkey's contribution by 27.5% to research programs and joint international number of scientific publications by 5.2%. Only 33.5% of these academic publications are cited in foreign publications. Moreover, the fact that 24.1% of doctoral students and less than 17% of private sector are foreigners provide insufficiency of the innovative contribution of these statistics to the open science of the European Union. Following these data, the success rate from the EU project programs to H2020 shows a limited number of national applications made with the statistics obtained; By the end of 2019, 781 institutions across Turkey, with a total number of 588 projects deemed worthy to receive a grant in the amount of EUR 167.6 million has already received grants. This ratio is mostly composed of private sector and universities. This statistical ratio indicates that Turkey's EU contribution to the study of innovation Artilleria greatly needed. Increasing the employment of experts and foreign languages who will be offered as a solution and close monitoring of eu project programs can be listed among the target solutions.
