ISHEAC holds the status of an "International Congress" with its invited foreign speakers, scientific and advisory boards, and researchers participating from various countries. However, due to recent amendments in the relevant regulations in our country (e.g., more than half of the total participants being foreign nationals), ISHEAC, like many large-scale congresses based in Turkey, does not guarantee the Academic Incentive Allowance criteria. Our congress is a platform aimed at scientific sharing and meeting associate professorship/appointment criteria rather than academic incentives.

Yes. ISHEAC fully meets the Associate Professorship criteria determined by the Interuniversity Board (ÜAK) and the definition of an "International Scientific Meeting" in the academic promotion and appointment guidelines (Assist. Prof., Assoc. Prof., Professor) of universities.

Since our congress registration fees are determined as a package covering the entire scientific program and social facilities, we do not have a daily registration option. You can proceed with the standard registration category that suits you.

Yes. You can participate by completing your registration at our registration desk (On-Site Registration) at the congress center. However, we highly recommend completing your registration via our website prior to the congress for quota planning and badge preparation.

The exhibitions and workshops within the scope of the congress are an integral part of the scientific program. Therefore, it is necessary to pay the congress registration fee to attend the exhibitions and workshops; no separate fee is charged for these events, and they are offered free of charge to congress participants.
