Preventable losses
98%
According to the International Labour Organization, 98% of occupational accidents are preventable if the necessary measures are taken.
3–5%
Where the necessary measures are not taken, countries lose on average 3–5% of their gross national product every year.
Export potential
Adapted into other languages, the ESG-AG module can be positioned in the global education market as software originating from Türkiye.
Intellectual property. A utility model and registration application will be filed for the ESG-AG mobile application and its components developed within the project.
Domestic software, domestic servers
A significant proportion of educational software based on innovative technologies originates abroad, which can lead to cyber security vulnerabilities and issues under data protection law. Developed with domestic resources, the ESG-AG module will be hosted on domestic servers, reducing cyber security risks.
Contribution to human resources
Two scholarship holders
In line with the Twelfth Development Plan’s emphasis on developing human resources that produce technology in Türkiye, two postgraduate researchers — one in Occupational Health and Safety and one in Educational Technologies — take part in the project as scholarship holders.
Four academic outputs
The results of the needs analysis, the design characteristics of the ESG-AG module, the psychometric properties of the ESG Culture Scale and the results of the experimental implementation will be published in international peer-reviewed journals and conferences. Planned output →
