Host City: Istanbul
Istanbul is Türkiye’s largest metropolis—historical, lively and extremely well-connected. For PolimerTR 2026, the city offers quick access from all major Turkish cities and convenient public transport across the European and Asian sides.
Getting to Istanbul (within Türkiye)
By Air Two airports serve the city: Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side. Both have frequent domestic flights from Ankara, İzmir, Antalya, Adana, Trabzon and many others.
By High-Speed Train (YHT): YHT lines connect Istanbul with Ankara, Eskişehir and Konyа. From Söğütlüçeşme, Pendik or Halkalı you can continue by Marmaray/metro.
By Coach (Otobüs):
Major operators arrive at Esenler/15 Temmuz Otogarı (European side) and Dudullu/Şehirlerarası Terminal (Asian side), both linked to metro/bus networks.
Getting Around the City
Use the contactless Istanbulkart on metro, tram, bus, metrobüs and ferries. For taxis, you can use BiTaksi or iTaksi apps. Peak hours are roughly 07:30–10:00 and 17:00–20:00.
Where to Stay (Convenient for the Venue)
- Topkapı – Bayrampaşa – Esenler: quick metro/bus access to Davutpaşa Campus.
- Fatih (Aksaray/Yenikapı): central, Marmaray and M1 connections.
- Şişli–Mecidiyeköy: business hotels, metro links; slightly longer ride.
- Taksim/Beyoğlu: lively area; reach the venue via metro transfers.

DEADLINES
Abstract submission deadline: Regular deadline closed – Late submission now open (until 12 July 2026)
Notification of acceptance: 17 July 2026
Author payment deadline: 24 July 2026
When & how to submit your abstract?
We highly value your early abstract submission as it enables us to design an effective schedule and assign suitable meeting rooms, ensuring a seamless presentation experience for you.
We welcome contributions in abstract format (not full text) for oral and/or poster presentations. The presentation type and schedule will be decided by the scientific committee after a peer review process. We will notify corresponding (submitting) authors the decision upon completion of the review process.
Please note that;
- Each participant may submit up to 2 abstracts (only 1 at the late submission period), with only one considered for each presentation type.
- Abstracts can be written in English or Turkish; however, your presentation language must match your abstract language.
All accepted abstracts will be scheduled in the conference, and only presented abstracts will be published in the book of abstracts.
Please submit your abstract online by MeetingHand conference management software to ensure that your abstract submission aligns with the conference's requirements.
The platform automatically handles the abstract format, including the text length (between 100 to 350 words). You can view the abstract submission instructions at the top of the submission form.
Abstract Submission Guideline:
Abstracts should be submitted online through the MeetingHand Abstract Submission System, which we use to collect and manage registrations and abstracts for PolimerTR conferences. Meetinghand automatically applies the abstract template, but we'd like to provide more details for a seamless submission process:
1. Submission and Editing:
- The system automatically determines the format, including text type, length (min 100 - max 350 words), etc. - The abstract submission system allows editing, saving, and submitting abstracts for evaluation.
- Abstracts can be freely updated until the submission deadline. For post-deadline updates, please send an email via the 'Contact Organizer' link in your participant account (requires login).
2. Title, Presentation Type, and Scientific Topic:
- Please capitalize each word of the title carefully.
- The submitting (corresponding) author must specify the presentation type and the scientific topic for which the abstract is being submitted.
3. Authors:
- The author submitting the abstract is designated as the "Corresponding Author".
- The Corresponding Author must add and define the order of co-authors, select the presenting author, and provide affiliations and email addresses for all authors.
- Authors should be added separately.
- The system will automatically merge affiliations with author names. Please use copy/paste for affiliations to avoid misspellings.
- Rewrite the author's name if there are multiple affiliations.
4. Abstract Body:
- The main abstract text must be written in the designated section and can include basic formatting such as superscript and subscript.
- Copy-paste from doc and pdf documents is available.
- Please carefully review the copied and pasted abstracts in the preview section.
- Please double-check the formulas in the preview step.
- Do not include the title, authors, or affiliations in the abstract body text section (as it corrupts the review and publishing process).
5. Images, Charts, and Tables:
- It is preferable to avoid adding images, charts, or tables in the abstracts. However, if necessary, they can be added as an image only.
6. References and Keywords:
- References and keywords should be added in the separate fields provided, not in the main abstract text section.
- References should be cited in the abstract text.
We look forward to receiving your abstracts and appreciate your adherence to these guidelines to ensure a smooth submission process.
