IKU-SPECTRA

Molecular Sciences and Spectroscopy Applied Research Center

is established within Istanbul Kültür University to conduct advanced research and promote scientific excellence in the fields of molecular sciences. Our center is shaped by the Spectroscopy@IKU ERA-Chair Project, the first project in Türkiye funded by the European Research Agency (ERA) under the Horizon Europe Framework - Widening Participation and Strengthening the European Research Area (WIDERA) ERA-CHAIRS Programme. With a budget of 2.5 million Euros, the project will be developed over the next 5 years at Istanbul Kültür University
