Looking for a partnership in the consortium

TÜBİTAK MARMARA RESEARCH CENTER (MAM) established in 1972, aims science and technology production with its research, development and innovation capabilities widely shared by its Energy Technologies, Climate Change and Sustainability, Materials Technologies and Life Sciences Departments.
TUBITAK MAM Climate Change and Sustainability Vice Presidency (CCSP) develops knowledge and technology for the benefit of society through national and international research and development activities in line with sustainable development goals, aiming to fulfill needs in the fields of environmental protection, technology and cleaner production. CCSP with more than 130 personnel, 25 laboratories and one fully-equipped research vessel conducts research activities in the following research areas: Sustainable Environmental Management, Environmental Technologies, Marine and Underwater Studies, Life Cycle Management, Sustainable Consumption and Production, and Circular Economy.
MAM, CCSP performs its research in accredited laboratories (EN ISO/IEC 17025:2000 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories). As of today, the total number of accredited analysis is 271 and parameters are 1200. CCSP’ top priority in all its activities is the client-focused service and quality. As a result, it’s owned the certificates of ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Systems and ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management Systems in 2001.

MRC has experience WFD, water and wastewater treatment, water reuse, rainwater harvesting, black and grey water treatment and reuse for different purposes, decentralized wastewater treatment, membrane technologies, water quality management and developing real time monitoring sensors as well as design of decision support system using GIS based data.
