The University of Health Sciences Türkiye has established the Sultan Abdulhamid II Health Sciences Awards to honour high-quality research, innovative practice and outstanding student achievement in the health sciences.
The programme draws on the university’s scholarly, educational and clinical heritage, rooted in the Mekteb-i Tıbbiye-i Şahane, the Imperial School of Medicine. Its historic Haydarpaşa building was commissioned by Sultan Abdulhamid II.
Through the awards, the university aims to carry this academic tradition forward while recognising contributions to contemporary health sciences.
Three Categories Recognising Different Stages of Academic Achievement
The Science Award will recognise scientists who have made substantial and lasting contributions to the health sciences.
The Incentive Award is intended for early-career scientists whose research demonstrates exceptional promise.
The Student Award will honour students distinguished by their research and innovative approaches.

Candidates who meet the criteria for their chosen category may apply directly. Institutional nomination is not required.
Applications must be submitted by 23:59 on 30 October 2026, Türkiye time (GMT+3). The award ceremony will take place on 10 February 2027.
Details of eligibility requirements, evaluation principles and application procedures are available on the official awards website.
