Conference Venue 

The Conference will be held at the METU Culture and Convention Center - KKM

This modern venue is located on the Middle East Technical University (ODTÜ) campus, just 7km from central Ankara and the Kızılay district. It features versatile halls, meeting rooms, and facilities to enable an impactful conference experience.

Attendees can take metro line M2 directly to the ODTÜ metro station on campus. KKM is just 1.5km from station A1, with dolmus shuttle transport available.

Ankara’s airport is 45km away, while the main bus terminal is just 4km from the university location. Multiple public transport options make traveling to the venue quite convenient.

We look forward to hosting our collaborative career planning discussions at METU KKM’s exceptional facilities and welcoming you to explore Türkiye's dynamic capital!

 

Host City Ankara

Ankara, Türkiye's capital, is a historic city with roots dating back to ancient civilizations. Formerly known as Ancyra and Angora, it served as the capital of Galatia and later the Roman province with the same name. Positioned in central Anatolia, Ankara's urban center houses 5.1 million people, making it Turkey's second-largest city. The historic center features the remnants of Ankara Castle, offering a glimpse into its diverse past.

An integral player in Turkish history, Ankara became the political center during the establishment of the Grand National Assembly in 1920 and assumed the role of the national capital in 1923. Beyond its governmental significance, Ankara is a thriving commercial and industrial hub, strategically located at the crossroads of Turkey's transportation networks. The city seamlessly blends its historical heritage with modern vitality, symbolizing resilience and progress in the heart of Turkey.
