Invitation to Congress
Dear Esteemed Academics and Researchers,
We are delighted to invite you to the 5th International Social Sciences Congress organized by the Center for Social Research (TAM), to be held on May 1–3, 2026, in the uniquely beautiful district of Kaş, Antalya, under the theme:
“Turkosphere: Will the 21st Century Be the Century of Türkiye?”
The concept of Turkosphere refers to a multilayered structure encompassing the cultural, social, economic, and political spheres of interaction within the Turkic world, centered on Türkiye. At a time when global power balances are being reshaped in the 21st century, the discourse of the “Century of Türkiye” presents a significant area of debate regarding Türkiye’s regional and global position.
In this context, our congress aims to examine Türkiye’s role in the 21st century through the perspective of the Turkosphere, addressing its opportunities and limitations from diverse disciplinary approaches. Spanning a broad spectrum from economics to international relations, and from culture to technology, the congress seeks to provide a platform for critical and multidimensional evaluations of Türkiye’s future.
You are invited to submit your qualified research related to the theme within the following topic areas and across all fields of the social sciences:
Topics Include:
Turkosphere: Conceptual framework and theoretical debates
Türkiye’s global and regional role in the 21st century
The “Century of Türkiye” discourse: Opportunities and critiques
Cultural interaction and shared identity in the Turkic world
Regional cooperation and Turkic states
Economic transformation, development, and sustainability
Science, technology, and innovation policies
Education systems and human capital
Law, democracy, and institutional structure
Media, communication, and public opinion formation
The Turkic world in the context of digitalization and new media
Migration, diaspora, and transnational relations
The congress will be held both in-person and online. We look forward to welcoming you to our congress, where science, nature, and history come together. As the Center for Social Research, we wish you success in your academic endeavors and warmly anticipate your participation.
