Dear Colleagues and Distinguished Guests,
Welcome to IECES 2026, the 6th International Eurasian Conference on Educational and Social Studies with the theme of Climate Change, Education and Social Innovation: Building a Sustainable and Equitable Future, to be held from 23 to 25 October 2026 at Istanbul Aydın University in Istanbul, Türkiye.
IECES 2026 brings together researchers, academics and professionals from around the world to share research, exchange ideas and develop new academic collaborations. Hosted by UNESCO Chair on Cultural Diplomacy, Governance and Education at Istanbul Aydın University in collaboration with ECLSS (Eurasian Conference on Language & Social Sciences), the conference provides an international platform for interdisciplinary dialogue across education and the social sciences.
Participants may attend either online via Zoom or onsite at Istanbul Aydın University. IECES 2026 will be held as a multilingual conference, welcoming presentations in multiple languages.
Accepted and presented abstracts will be included in the conference abstract book. Full papers may be considered for inclusion in the conference proceedings or for submission to supporting journals, subject to the relevant publication guidelines and peer-review processes.
We especially encourage early-career researchers to present their work, expand their international networks and receive feedback from experienced scholars.
We look forward to welcoming you to our campus in Istanbul.
