GLODEM pursues projects by means of several mechanisms. First, its members pursue individual projects. These projects are associated with GLODEM. Second, GLODEM pursues projects as an organization. Third and finally, GLODEM may be a member of projects associated with its formal or informal partners.

The success of Koc University in rigorous national and international project mechanisms speaks to these skill sets. These mechanisms include TUBITAK, EU-FP7, and others associated with international organizations. GLODEM is joining its goal of increased, innovative partnership engagement with its project development in 2014. GLODEM is interested in cooperative project hosting.
