Let’s meet at the summit of Türkiye!

EJERCongress, which has been expanding and growing stronger each year in the field of educational research, is being held for the 12th time this year. Between June 25-28, 2025, we will meet you in Ağrı, the shining star of the east, under the hospitality of Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University. The theme of this year’s congress, co-led by Prof. Dr. Önder Şimşek – Dean of the Faculty of Education – and Prof. Dr. Funda Nayir, will be “Rethinking Society in a Digitalizing World: Glocalization, Cultural Sustainability, and Education.” With this theme, we aim to deeply explore how social structures have evolved in an age of rapid digitalization, how the globalized world can be integrated with local values, and how cultural sustainability can be achieved in education.

We chose Ağrı as the location for this year’s congress for many reasons. First and foremost, the city offers an inspiring environment for academic work, where history, nature, and science come together in a fascinating way. In this congress, where scientific discussions will meet the magnificent view of Mount Ararat, you will experience the captivating atmosphere of both nature and science while tracing the legend of Noah’s Ark. You will also have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the unique cultural experiences of Ağrı, which is known for its historical landmarks, such as the Ishak Pasha Palace.

As an inclusive and integrative congress, the success of our conference is clearly indicated by the high level of participation and the nationally and internationally recognized events at the previous XI EJERCongress. Supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), our congress continues to grow in prestige within the scientific community.

We will be thrilled to welcome you, esteemed scholars and scholars-in-training, to the XII EJERCongress, hosted by Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University. We would be honored to have you join us at the XII EJERCongress to contribute to the discussions that will shape the future of education.

We look forward to meeting you at the summit of Turkey at the XII. EJERCongress!

On behalf of the EJERCongress Team,

Prof. Dr. Funda NAYIR, Congress President
Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University
