6th Graduate Student Research Symposium (GSRS)
- Call for Abstracts -
The Department of Mathematics and Science Education (SCED) is pleased to announce the 6th Boğaziçi University SCED Graduate Student Research Symposium. We invite graduate students to participate in a symposium designed to support preparation for international conferences. Participants will present their research in a collegial setting, receive feedback from peers and faculty members, and gain experience in academic communication. The symposium also aims to demonstrate the importance of graduate-level research.
This event will feature graduate student researchers. Participants are expected to present their research in person during the symposium. The symposium will be held on May 21, 2026, between 10.00-16.00 at Demir Demirgil Hall and Özger Arnas Hall.
All master's and doctoral students studying at a higher education institution in İstanbul whose research is closely related to science and mathematics education are strongly encouraged to submit their research. Abstracts will not be published, allowing participants to share work in progress and further refine it for future conferences or journals. There is no limit for being an author on multiple papers. However, one person can be the presenter for a maximum of one paper.
