paintistanbul&TURKCOAT Congress and Exhibition will be held on 27-28 May 2025 at Crown Plaza Istanbul Asia.
Abstracts of papers and posters to be presented at the Congress should be sent to the Congress Secretariat, bosad@bosad.org.tr via e-mail in MS Word format 17 March 2025 . Abstracts should not exceed 300 words. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to accept or reject the presentations, and to decide whether to make paper or poster presentations.
Presentations should be non-commercial; authors should focus on scientific and technological content in their presentations. The use of trade names and trademarks should be avoided as much as possible. Abstracts and full papers can be written in English and Turkish. Turkish translations can be included upon request.
Please pay attention to the specified rules when writing the documents: Full texts should be written in MS Word format, text body in 12-point font, headings in 14-point font, Times New Roman font, 1.5 line spacing, with 3 cm margins on the sides and bottom of the page. The full text, including articles, texts, illustrations, graphics, pictures, tables and references, should not exceed 8 A4 pages.
Paper presentations during the congress will adhere to a time frame of 15 minutes, followed by a 5-minute question and answer session, totaling 2o minutes per presentation. Poster presentations must be designed to fit within a designated area of 70×90 cm, ensuring that all text is legible from a distance of 2-3 meters.
In case the size of the file attachment is too large and creates difficulties in sending the mails, you can contact the Congress Secretariat for support.
