Enhancing the genetic diversity and variability of crops and livestock for the agroecological transition
Dear Coordinator,
I have carefully reviewed the Call Announcement, the sample pre-proposal published on the project website, and Annex IX (Funder Regulations v1.7) for the AGROECOLOGY 3rd Co-funded Call.
According to Annex IX, TÜBİTAK fully supports Topic 1 and Topic 2, and Turkish universities are eligible for funding up to 500,000 €, allowing participation as a fully funded partner (not only as an associated partner).
Based on this, I would be very interested in joining your consortium as a Research Performing Organisation (RPO) and potentially contributing as Work Package leader for activities related to genetic diversity, genotype × environment interactions, and multi-omics analyses supporting agroecological transition (Topic 1, subtopics 1.1–1.2).
My group has strong experience in plant stress biology, comparative genomics and transcriptomics, and the integration of molecular data with phenotypic and physiological traits, particularly in the context of local genotypes and climate resilience. I believe this expertise would complement well the agroecological and living-lab oriented components of the consortium.
I would be happy to share a short concept note describing our potential tasks and budget framework aligned with TÜBİTAK regulations.
Best regards,
Prof. Dr. İlker Büyük

Ankara University is a public research university with strong expertise in plant biology, biotechnology and agro-biological research. The Department of Biology (Biotechnology Division) conducts research on plant genetic diversity, stress biology, and multi-omics approaches, including genomics, transcriptomics and integrative data analysis.
Our research focuses on understanding genotype × environment interactions and identifying genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying crop resilience to abiotic stresses, such as drought and salinity, with particular attention to local genotypes and traditional varieties relevant to sustainable and agroecological farming systems.
The organisation has extensive experience in national and international collaborative projects, contributing as a research-performing partner in multidisciplinary consortia. We combine molecular-level insights with physiological and phenotypic data to generate evidence-based knowledge that can support breeding strategies and agroecological transition.
Ankara University provides well-established laboratory infrastructure, growth facilities and expertise in data analysis, enabling reliable implementation of research tasks within international projects.
