Dear Esteemed Colleagues, Researchers, and Industry Leaders,
We are currently witnessing a digital renaissance where the boundaries between physical, digital, and biological spheres are becoming increasingly blurred. Artificial Intelligence and Data Science are no longer just sub-fields of engineering; they have evolved into the fundamental language of modern science, reshaping how we understand complex systemsfrom healthcare and finance to climate change and social dynamics.
In this rapidly evolving landscape, the responsibility of academia extends beyond merely generating knowledge. Our duty is to interpret this transformation, to guide the ethical integration of technology into society, and to cultivate a visionary perspective that anticipates the challenges of tomorrow. Establishing robust platforms where theory meets practice, and where algorithms meet real-world solutions, is essential for sustainable progress.
In this context, ICADA 2026 serves a vital mission. We are not just observing the digital revolution; we are actively shaping it. This congress acts as a nexus where experienced academicians and bright young researchers converge to exchange ideas that will define the future.
As the Organizing Committee, we have designed the 6th International Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Congress to be more than just a series of presentations. Organized by İzmir Kâtip Çelebi University and hosted by Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University, this event serves as a multidisciplinary crucible. We aim to provide a rigorous scientific environment that fosters innovation, encourages cross-domain collaboration, and offers a unique opportunity to strengthen professional networks against the historic backdrop of Cappadocia.
We believe that every paper presented and every discussion held here contributes to the global roadmap of science and technology. We are delighted to welcome you to this intellectual feast and look forward to the synergy we will create together.
With my warmest regards,
Prof. Dr. Ayşegül Alaybeyoğlu
Chair of the Congress
