Globalization and technological developments toward the end of the 20th century have deeply affected human life in every field. The field of education was faced with adapting to these changes and innovations. The societies that could not show this adaptation have lagged behind others. It also became clear that education is the main force that ensures the scientific and cultural developments in societies. It was also clear that educators being aware of and informed about the new developments and changes in the field education play a key role in the future of new generations and inevitably in the future of countries. While it is fast and easy to access information in the digital age we live in, reaching academic information cultivated by competent people in the field of education and training is a process that requires effort and time. As a result, the necessity of a platform where all researchers, academicians, experts, and students share their knowledge in the field of educational sciences cannot be disregarded. EJERCongress (International Eurasian Educational Research Congress), one of the prestigious congresses in Eurasia and the world, was initiated to meet this need.
EJERCongress was established in 2013 under the umbrella of Anı Publishing to contribute to the advancement of science and education in Eurasia and beyond. We held our first congress in Istanbul University with the theme of “Rethinking Education: Problems and Solutions in 2014.” Thus far, we have held eight successful annual congresses , each time with co-sponsorship and hosting by a different university.
Below is a list of the previous EJER congresses and their themes:
-
- 2022 Ege University. “Migrations Caused by Regional Problems and the Education of Refugees and Disadvantaged Groups”
- 2021 Aksaray University. “Education in the Digital Age; Learning, Teaching and Research”
- 2020 Eskisehir Anadolu University. “Future of Education and Transversal Skills”

In our congress, including almost every subject in the field of educational sciences, all the presented studies are examined by our highly competent committee of reviewers and the proposals that pass the review process are included in the congress. Every person who presents a paper or participates as a listener is given a certificate of participation. In addition, the presented papers are published in e-book format as Abstract Bulletin and Full Text Bulletin at www.ejercongress.org shortly after the congress concludes.
With the theme of “Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Education,” EJERCongress 2023 will be held in Ankara with the co-sponsorship of TED University. We look forward to seeing you there.
