Abstracts for oral presentations at the 23rd Biotechnology Congress with International Participation will be accepted after peer review (each submission will be reviewed by at least two reviewers). The official languages of the congress are Turkish and English.

Abstract Submission Guidelines and Instructions

Oral Presentations: Limited to 15 minutes.
The first letter of the abstract title should be capitalized (abbreviations should not be used in the title).
Authors’ Full Name, Institution, and City must be clearly stated in the relevant section of the submission system. However, no sentence introducing the institution or the researchers should appear in the abstract.
Academic titles should not be used in the authors' names.
The researcher presenting the work must be indicated among the researchers listed in the abstract.
The abstract must be organized according to the following sections, and these sections should not be written as headings within the abstract:
Abstract Title: Maximum 125 characters
Introduction: Maximum 750 characters
Materials and Methods: Maximum 1000 characters
Results: Maximum 750 characters
Conclusion and Discussion: Maximum 250 characters
Keywords: Maximum 75 characters
Project/research support for the presented work must be stated in the "Acknowledgments" section.
Works that are ongoing or have not yet obtained results, or works that do not contain the above sections (excluding case reports), will not be considered.
Since the submitted abstracts via the online "Abstract Submission" module will be printed exactly as submitted, care should be taken to avoid spelling errors. Authors are responsible for all spelling errors.

Digital Poster Presentation and Flash Talk Guidelines

This congress has adopted a digital poster system to reduce paper consumption, conserve natural resources, and lower our carbon footprint. We expect participants to contribute not only with their scientific work but also with their environmental awareness.

Digital poster presentations are limited to studies with abstracts accepted for the congress.

1.Digital Poster Presentation Format

Posters must be prepared in .jpg format and RGB color mode.
Screen size: Portrait orientation, optimized to 1080 × 1920 pixels (16:9 ratio).
For visual clarity, use images with at least 960 pixels on the shortest side, and avoid enlarging images beyond their original resolution to prevent pixelation.
Posters must be prepared as a single page.
Maximum file size: 10 MB.
File naming format: Surname_Name.jpg
Submission deadline: 15 October 2025 – Posters should be sent by email to 23.biotech.congress@gmail.com.

2.Flash Talk Presentations (For Selected Posters)

Some poster presenters, selected by the Scientific Committee, will be invited to give a Flash Talk presentation.
Presentation duration: 3 minutes for the talk and 2 minutes for Q&A.
Presentations should include a maximum of 3 slides and be prepared in PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx) format.
Flash Talk presentation files must be sent to the congress email address no later than one week before the congress dates.
