12. International Hisarlı Ahmet Symposium will be held in the hybrid mode: online and on-site in conference hall.

Although the effect of the measures taken has decreased considerably compared to the previous years, this year's 12th International Hisarlı Ahmet Symposium sessions will be held as HYBRID mode (online + face-to-face (onset on conference hall)) to make a positive contribution by providing as little mobility as possible in transportation to CLIMATE, where the Covid epidemic continues globally, and we are feeling its increasingly negative change.

All participants whose papers are accepted will be asked by our secretariat which option (online or onset) they will participate in the symposium through the communication channels after the acceptance.Participants are kindly requested to pay attention to the presentation guidelines.
