Telecommunications RD Support in Germany

• BMBF - Federal Ministry of Education and Research
• National project calls
• Calls by bilateral research agreements (e.g.
  GermanyIsrael, GermanyTurkey)
• BMWi - Federal Ministry of Economics and
  Technology
• National project calls
• DFG (German Research Foundation)
• National project calls
• EICT
• A public private partnership for the fusion of
  novel research and development activities in the
  industry and universities
• German Government
• has established 3 Testbeds
• Established a regular RD Program

7
Targeted Support for Telecom Research

• Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)

• 3 Next Generation Network research testbeds in 3
  different locations within Germany
• Each testbed is established and maintained under
  the responsibility of a Research and Development
  Center.

Targeted Support for Telecom Research
BMBF

• A strategic workgroup for each testbed
• Universities / RD Centre
• Mobile Telecom Operator
• Infrastructure Providers
• SME

9
Large-Scale Testbed Purposes

• Foresee and overcome potential problems that
  telecom operators may face in the application of
  new communication technologies

• Establish a realistic playground for research and
  development activities of universities and
  research institutes
• Provide a source of research ideas for
  researchers studying new network technologies
• Enable SMEs to test and validate their new
  product and services

Recommendation

• Establish testbeds in different locations
• Define topics with impact
• Prioritize topics for each call for proposals
• Establish an organization Structure
• Strategic Steering Board

15
Recommended Research Support Infrastructure

• A similar structure to that in Germany
• 3 Experimental Research Facilities / Testbeds in
  3 Regions

BTK
West / Istanbul
E.g. Founders - Avea - Dai-Lab Türkiye - ...
Center / Ankara
East / Erzincan or Diyarbakir
16
Support for Telecom Research in Turkey

• New regulation by the Ministry for stimulation
  and support of RD projects on Telecommunications
• 4 national calls each year
• A steering board was proposed for the new
  regulation
• Determine the priority topics for each call for
  proposals
• Appoint reviewers for proposal evaluation and
  watchers project progress tracking
• Final decision on proposals based on reviewer
  comments and strategic objectives
