Distinguished Scholars and Valuable Participants

In today's world, where global trade routes and geopolitical dynamics are being reshaped, the Middle Corridor, connecting Asia and Europe, has become one of the key drivers of regional cooperation and stability. It is our great honor to invite you to our symposium, where we will comprehensively explore the current state, future prospects, and strategic potential of this vital corridor from multidisciplinary perspectives.

The International Middle Corridor Palandöken Diplomacy Symposium 2026 will be held in a hybrid format (both in-person and online) from 3–5 November 2026 in Palandöken, Erzurum, Türkiye. The symposium aims to explore the economic, political, diplomatic, legal, logistical, technological, and socio-cultural dimensions of the Middle Corridor through an interdisciplinary approach. Bringing together academics, researchers, representatives of public institutions, international organizations, private sector stakeholders, and graduate students on a common academic platform, the symposium will provide participants with the opportunity to present their papers either in person or online, according to their field of expertise and preferred mode of participation.

All papers submitted to the symposium will be evaluated through a double-blind peer-review process. Accepted papers that are presented at the symposium will be published as separate Abstract Proceedings and Full Paper Proceedings, each with its own ISBN.
