Who We Are

TÜSSİDE (Turkish Institute of Management Sciences), a research institute of TÜBİTAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye), conducts research, consultancy, and professional training activities focused on strategy and management systems.

The foundations of TÜSSİDE date back to a proposal developed by the State Planning Organization (DPT) in 1971 to strengthen university–industry collaboration in Türkiye. The Institute was formally established by a regulation published on 19 July 1980 and officially commenced its operations under a regulation jointly prepared by TÜBİTAK and the Ministry of National Education, which was approved by the TÜBİTAK Science Board on 29 November 1983. Since August 2002, TÜSSİDE has operated as an institute directly affiliated with the Presidency of TÜBİTAK.

During its early years, TÜSSİDE primarily focused on professional training programs aimed at enhancing the capabilities of public- and private-sector managers. Over time, it expanded its expertise in research and consultancy, broadening the scope of its activities. In particular, during the public sector reform initiatives of the 2000s, the Institute developed organization-specific solutions in areas such as strategic management, performance management, and internal control systems, while also launching sector-specific research projects.

Today, TÜSSİDE continues to design and implement projects and programs that create lasting impact across Türkiye's strategic ecosystems, bringing together public institutions, industry, academia, and other key stakeholders.
