HPY Research Foundation

HPY Research Foundation was founded in 1999 and supports research studies of telecommunications technology, studies closely related to telecommunications business or to the use of telecommunications. These research studies should be in the areas of technological, economical or behavioral sciences and the level of post-graduate studies aiming to doctoral thesis or higher-level studies.

By 2024 the Foundation has granted a total of 1.2 million euros to mainly research for doctoral thesis in various universities. The library of foundation has now 146 doctoral theses.

HPY Research Foundation 2025 grants have been granted. This year the foundation supported doctoral thesis students by awarding grants worth 3,000 euros each.
