CONGRESS CALL
Dear Esteemed Scientists,

It will be organized in cooperation with Mersin University, Istanbul Esenyurt University, Balıkesir University, Osmaniye Korkut Ata University, Kilis 7 Aralık University, Trabzon Eurasia University, Istanbul Topkapı University, Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University, Bingöl University, Hakkari University, Ardahan University, Gümüşhane University, Iğdır University, İstanbul Galata University, Azerbaijan Tourism and Management University, Samarkand State University, Samarkand Silk Road Tourism and Cultural Heritage University, Bayan-Ulgii Mongolian State University of Education, Kazakhstan International University of Tourism and Hospitality, Marmaris Youth Association.
Our congress will also be supported by Muğla Municipality, Fethiye Municipality, Seydikemer Municipality, Fethiye Chamber of Commerce, Fethiye Travel Agencies Association, Chamber of Shipping, Fethiye Tourism Association, and Latif Caner Construction Company.
As youth are considered the guarantee of a country’s future, it has become increasingly important in recent years to focus on the challenges they may face during their development—especially in education—and to highlight interdisciplinary research dedicated to youth.
The first edition of our congress was successfully held in 2016 in Marmaris, followed by Fethiye in 2017, Nakhchivan in 2018, and again Marmaris in 2019. Due to the pandemic and earthquakes in our country and the world, we had to take a break. In 2024, we successfully held the fifth edition again in Marmaris.
Our congress aims to bring together scholars from different countries to present their research and engage in meaningful discussions in the field of Youth Studies.
We invite scholars and researchers conducting studies on youth in the fields of Social Sciences, Religion, Language, Education, Sociology, Philosophy, Health, Art, Sports, Politics, Technology, History, and Tourism to contribute to our congress with their original academic work.
Academic Incentive
The official languages of the congress are Turkish, Turkic Dialects, and English. Participants may submit up to 2 papers, but may present only one. International participants may submit up to 3 papers.
According to the Higher Education Council (YÖK) academic incentive regulations, to meet the criteria for international congress status, more than half of the presentations must come from outside Turkey and participation must include at least 5 countries (excluding Turkey). Our congress will meet these criteria with invited scholars from at least 5 different countries.
Participants can choose to present either oral or poster presentations. A 40% quota is reserved for participants from Turkey. Applications from Turkey will be evaluated in accordance with this quota. Our congress is also expected to fulfill the criteria for academic incentives and associate professorship applications.
All papers presented at the congress will be subject to double-blind peer review by two members of the Scientific Committee. Only approved papers will be accepted for presentation and inclusion in the Congress Proceedings Book.
At the author’s request, abstracts, full texts, and poster presentations will be published electronically in a congress proceedings book with ISSN after completing the required processes.
Alternatively, papers may be published as articles in one of our partner international journals, provided they meet the journal’s requirements, go through the peer-review process, and the discounted article fee (specific to our congress) is paid.
