2. Additionally, Bachelor students graduating in 2025 with a GPA above 3.00 and Master students with a GPA above 3.25 can also present papers at the congress.  
3. Master students who are working as research assistants or lecturers cannot present papers at the congress. Those working as PreDocs or project assistants can participate.
4. In order to encourage more and different studies, a participant can be an author in a maximum of 2 papers. In addition, a study can consist of a maximum of 2 authors.
5. PhD students cannot apply. Applications of candidates who want to work with PhD students will be cancelled.

All persons who meet the basic conditions specified above will be able to submit a paper to the congress.

Candidates who meet the participation conditions must upload the following 2 documents.

• Transcript
• Academic Composition

All relevant documents must be uploaded. Applications must be made by connecting to the Google Form via the link on the homepage. All relevant documents will be uploaded to this area.

For academic composition, there must be a text that briefly conveys your own views on macroeconomic perspectives within the scope of the theme, based on the articles below. This letter must be no longer than 1 page. “Academic Composition” will be decisive in the application process. Therefore, studies using AI will be considered ethically problematic and will be rejected. Relevant letters can be written by hand or on a computer, but must be uploaded to the PDF system.

There is no single correct answer in this application and the connotations of the references below; (you do not need to understand all the mathematical notations or econometric wizardry, we do not care) redesign and share your own world – your thinking.

Participants in the congress can prepare papers in the gel classifications specified below. The sub-branches suggested and expected to be studied within the relevant classifications are as follows.

A – General Economics and Education
B – History of Economic Thought, Methodology and Heterodox Approaches
C – Mathematical and Numerical Methods
D – Microeconomics
E – Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics
F – International Economics
G – Financial Economics
H – Public Economics
I – Health, Education and Welfare
J – Labor and Demographic Economics
K – Law and Economics
L – Industrial Organization
M – Business and Enterprise Economics, Marketing
N – Economic History
O – Economic Development, Innovation, Technological Change and Growth
P – Economic Systems
Q – Agricultural and Natural Resources Economics; Environmental and Ecological Economics
R – Urban, Rural, Regional, Real Estate and Transportation Economics
Z – Other Special Topics

There are two weights in the scoring of studies. These will be calculated by adding the scores of the scientific evaluation of the full text of the study and the presentation of the paper owners. While a double-blind referee is involved in the scientific evaluation process, the scoring of the session chair will be included in the presentation evaluation.

Scoring is announced openly in order to ensure the principle of transparency at the congress. For this reason, an ID number will be assigned to each paper and all scores will be published transparently using this number.

In the evaluation process, “Scientific Scoring” represents 70% of the total score. “Presentation Performance” is 30%.

“Scientific Scoring” by the scientific board is the average of two referee evaluations. It is especially important to explain the scientific evaluation process in more detail within this presentation. The scientific board member evaluates in 3 stages in the relevant process. These stages are;

• Scientific Evaluation Criteria (70%)
• Plagiarism Scanning (20%)
• Writing Format (10%)

The Scientific Evaluation Criteria field is calculated out of 100 points, and each question is evaluated between 1 and 5, and includes a weight of 70% of the total.

Then, “Plagiarism” reports are obtained by an independent intermediary using the Turnitin program. This reporting has a weight of 20 points to be added to the “Scientific Review”. However, during the calculation process, it is weighted on a scale of 100 points (100 x (1 – Plagiarism Rate)).

Finally, a score is also made for the “Writing Format”, which will be implemented as of 2022. The writing process layout rules will be calculated with a weight of 100 points in total via LaTeX. If a score below 50 points is received here, it will automatically pass as “0”. A weight of 10% of the received score will be added. There is no flexibility in the layout rules.

Thus, the average of the scores from the two blind referees is taken and the overall weight of 70% is calculated and the “Scientific Scoring” result is obtained.

The presentation score consists of 2 stages.

• Article presentation
• Discussant

When the participants present their own articles, they will receive points from the 100-point section consisting of 10 questions (rating from 1-10) to be scored by the jury chairman. 50% of the score they will receive in their presentation will be calculated here.

Then, all presentation owners will be the discussants of another presentation. After the presentation owner makes their presentation, the discussant will reconsider this article and present it. While focusing on the weaknesses and strengths of these articles, it will actually be a presentation focused on development. The aim is not to criticize the other presentation. The jury member will also evaluate this critique presentation out of a total of 100 points consisting of 10 different questions (rating from 1-10). The evaluation criteria of this discussion presentation are different from the article presentation criteria. Therefore, 50% of the score the discussant will receive from here will be taken; it will be added to the system as “Presentation and Discussant” by combining it with 50% of the presentation score they made. 30% of the total score will be taken and added to the general score.

Briefly and summarized, the presentation evaluation mathematics is as follows.

Notes: Total = ( A + B) in %    V    Total = (A1 + A2 + A3 + B1 + B2) in Wighted %

This table briefly means that your “Scientific Scoring” score is calculated by calculating 49% of the score you received from the article you wrote as “Scientific Evaluation Criteria”; 14% of the score you received from “Plagiarism Scanning” and 7% of the score you received from “Writing Format”. This is followed by the score you received from the presentation of your article under “Article Presentation” and 15% of the score you received from the presentation you made as “Discussant” for another paper. Briefly, the weights of the points you receive for each sub-step are shown.

All studies will be written in LaTeX format. Presentations will be prepared in LaTeX \ Beamer format according to the congress’s writing rules. Free lessons on this subject will be given by the congress committee. Therefore, accepted candidates will be able to follow the lessons at https://www.kongregeko.org/awards/. These lessons will also be given free of charge.

The congress will only give awards in 2 branches.

• Bachelor and Master.

The awards given in these branches are valuable academicians who previously supported and contributed to us in organizations under the roof of our club. Unfortunately, time is the most annoying for all economists. Time took them from us.. We want to remember them and thank them again by keeping their names alive, even if just a little.

Therefore, the Bachelor award will be given in the name of Prof. Suut Doğruel and the Master’s award will be given in the name of Dr. Yaşar Erdinç.

The winners of these awards will also be encouraged to publish internationally in the following fields and all financial/academic support will be provided by the Congress Committee during the preparation process for publication.

• International Refereed Journal of Business Administration
• IGI Global Scientific Publishing

The referee processes of the relevant papers are carried out by the journal and editors. Therefore, the Congress Committee is not involved in the process.
