Abstract

Bu çalışma, i) Türkiye koordinatör ve Almanya’nın ortak olduğu, ii) Almanya’nın koordinatör ve Türkiye’nin ortak olduğu, iii) hem Türkiye hem de Almanya’nın ortak olduğu Avrupa Çerçeve Programı (FP5, FP6, FP7) BIT projelerinde ulusötesi akademik ağların sosyal sermaye yönünü araştırmaktadır. Sosyal Ağ Analizi sonuçları, Türkiye ve Almanya’nın işbirliği yaptığı Avrupa’daki FP BIT projelerinde, Türkiye’de sosyal sermayenin arttığını göstermektedir. Ulusüstü ağ bağlantıları, bilgi transferi, yenilik ağları ve sosyal sermaye oluşumu için temel ve fırsatlar sağlamıştır. İleride araştırmalar, Türkiye’deki ve Almanya’daki kurumların toplumsal sermaye yaratımını ayrı ayrı analiz etmeyi planlamaktadır.

Social Capital and Turkish-German Academic Linkages

Abstract

This study investigates linking social capital aspect and transnationality of academia through networks via European Framework Programme (FP5, FP6, FP7) ICT projects in which i) Turkey is coordinator and Germany is partner, ii) Germany is coordinator and Turkey is partner, iii) both Turkey and Germany are partners. Social Network Analysis results depict that in European FP ICT projects where Turkey and Germany collaborated, social capital in Turkey increased. Transnational network linkages provided basis and opportunities for knowledge transfer, innovation networks, and formation of social capital. Further research will analyze social capital creation of the institutions in Turkey and Germany individually.
