The Non-Governmental Organizations Application and Research Center, which was established by the faculty members of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University in order to find solutions to the problems and respond to the needs of Non-Governmental Organizations, works to ensure that research, implementation and support are carried out institutionally under the identity of the center. In particular, collaborations for project development, institutional knowledge and information support provided by the Center, European Union Projects, TÜBİTAK projects and project supports of other institutions are targeted. The support provided for local NGOs to work more effectively not only improves the relations between the university and local civil society, but also directly and indirectly benefits society by making Non-Governmental Organizations more effective. The archiving, promotion and support of the work currently carried out by University staff and students in cooperation with Non-Governmental Organizations or individually by the Non-Governmental Organizations Application and Research Center encourages new philanthropy, volunteering and solidarity activities, and these activities are increasing and diversifying.
