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 2023 the Foundation has granted a total of EUR 1.2 million to mainly researches for their doctoral thesis in various universities. The Foundation library has now 144 doctoral theses.

Grant awarded for 2024

HPY Research Foundation 2024 grants have been granted. The foundation supported doctoral thesis students by awarding grants worth EUR 3,000 each. See full list below.
