The Congress will provide a platform for the scientists and professionals from the academia and the industry to come together and share their experience, establishing bridges between new concepts in science and technology on the one hand and applications in the industry on the other hand.

Abstracts of the articles and posters to be presented at the Congress should be sent to the Congress Secretariat paintistanbul@bosad.org.tr via e-mail in MS Word format by Friday, 29 September 2023. Abstracts should not exceed 300 words.

Presentations must be non-commercial in their outlook; they must instead be focused on scientific and technological content. The use of trade names and trademarks must be avoided wherever possible.

Abstracts and full papers must be written in English. Optionally Turkish translations can be included.

Kindly observe the following rules in writing the papers which will help us format the Congress Proceedings as uniformly as possible.
