Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to the 3rd International and 16th National Agricultural Structures and Irrigation Congress (ICASI-2025) hosted by Ankara University and the General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policies (TAGEM) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the Republic of Türkiye, between June 24th and June 27th, 2025 in Ankara, the capital city of Türkiye. As part of the congress, four specialized sub-events will be held alongside the main event, offering diverse perspectives and in-depth discussions on relevant topics, including Climate Change Impact Assessment, Importance of Crop Simulation Models for Adaptation and Mitigation, Using Digital Technologies in Irrigation Management, Future of Agrivoltaic (AgroPV) in Irrigated Agriculture and Irrigation Water Management in Islamic Countries.
The congress aims to bring together key stakeholders, including universities, research institutes, subject-matter experts, policymakers, public and non-governmental organizations, private companies, and farmers, to foster dialogue at national and international levels. In response to the challenges posed by declining water resources, climate change, and global warming, the congress seeks to develop effective solutions for issues related to agricultural water management, irrigation, and agricultural structures. In addition, it will be important to share the latest developments, policies, practices, innovations and technologies related to the congress topics.
The official languages of the congress will be Turkish and English. All presentations are required to be prepared in English; however, participants may choose to deliver their presentations in either Turkish or English, depending on their preference. The presented papers will be published in the congress proceedings book upon request. In addition, the papers selected by the organizing committee from among the papers presented in our congress will be published in the Turkish Journal of Agricultural and Natural Sciences (https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/turkjans) scanned in international indexes and TR index after the referee evaluation process.
Participants may attend the congress and sub-events either with a paper submission or as an audience member.
