Duties of the Scientific Board
The distribution and sharing of tasks of the Congress Scientific Committee is carried out by the President of the Scientific Committee.
i. Determination of conference and panel topics and presenters:
The Congress Scientific Committee evaluates and decides on the proposals for conferences and panel presentations submitted to it within the dates specified in the Congress booklet or invitation messages. These proposals should include information such as the topic title, summary content, speakers and duration and should be accompanied by a short cover letter stating the importance of the topic. An invited conference proposal made by one of the members of the scientific committee may be included in the program, provided that it is approved by this committee and the speaker’s transportation and/or accommodation expenses are covered by the speaker or the association management.
ii. Determination of oral and poster presentations:
The abstracts of oral and poster presentations that reach the Congress Secretariat within the specified dates and are forwarded to the Scientific Board Chair are evaluated by at least two members of this board and a decision is made by this board. The Scientific Board may, when necessary, convert an oral presentation request into a poster presentation or request that a study proposed as a poster presentation be presented as an oral presentation by obtaining the opinions of the researchers. A Scientific Board member cannot evaluate the abstract of a presentation that includes his/her name. The Scientific Board may, when necessary, benefit from Advisory Board members during evaluations.
iii. Determination of awards for oral and poster presentations:
The award evaluation specified in the Congress booklet is carried out by the Scientific Board according to the procedures and principles determined by them, primarily scientific content and correct use of Turkish. A Scientific Board member cannot evaluate or give points for a presentation that includes his/her name. If the number of Scientific Board members attending the congress is less than 5, the Board of Directors completes the Award Evaluation Board to 5 members by making an appointment from among the Advisory Board members who attended the Congress.
iv. Self-introduction presentations for associate professor candidates .
Associate Professor candidates may be given a presentation session to introduce themselves to all members if they are willing and notify the Organizing Committee or the Scientific Committee of their wishes. The summaries of these presentations, which will not exceed 15 minutes for each candidate, will not be included in the congress booklets.
