Uluslararası Kapsayıcı Eğitim Kongresi

International Inclusive Education Congress

The International Inclusive Education Congress is an international event that aims to strengthen equal opportunities in education and create a scientific platform for discussion on the development of inclusive learning environments. The congress addresses how an inclusive approach can be structured in educational institutions, the contributions of differentiated instruction and universal design principles to learning processes, and support mechanisms for disadvantaged student groups.

The main objectives of the congress include sharing current research conducted in Turkey and around the world with a focus on inclusiveness, discussing the practical aspects of these studies, and developing recommendations that will contribute to future education policies. In this context, the congress offers a comprehensive scientific sharing environment for academics, researchers, teachers, and practitioners.

Organized in collaboration with Marmara University and the Maltepe District National Education Directorate, the conference will be held on April 17–18, 2026, at Marmara University's Atatürk Faculty of Education. All participants who wish to contribute to the field of inclusive education are invited to the conference with their original work.
