18. International Combustion Symposium-INCOS 2026

Combustion Symposiums, one of Turkey's longest-running and most prestigious engineering symposium series, are organized as one of the periodic events of the Combustion Institute Turkey Branch. These symposiums, the first of which was held in 1983 and the 18th of which we plan to hold in Muş between 03–05 September 2026, were originally planned to be organized biennially. However, for various reasons, this schedule could not be maintained and 16 symposiums have been organized over 39 years. After the first five symposiums, all of which were held in Bursa, the organization of the symposium was opened to other universities. The other eight symposiums to date have been organized by I.T.U., Gazi University, Marmara University, Kırıkkale University, Sakarya University, International University of Sarajevo (IUS), Kocaeli University, Erciyes University and Aydın Adnan Menderes University.

Combustion, as a thermo-chemical process that converts the chemical energy of fuels into heat or mechanical energy, has countless applications from domestic use to engines of transportation vehicles, from boilers to steel melting furnaces and power plants. Therefore, the technique and efficiency of this transformation are inherently important. Especially today, when energy has become a global strategic weapon, energy resources and how these resources can be used efficiently, and therefore fuels and combustion, are becoming an important area of interest in scientific research studies. The importance of the energy issue comes to the fore for countries that do not have sufficient energy resources, such as Turkey.

Combustion Symposiums are organizations that bring together academics and researchers who are experts on combustion from different countries, mostly from Turkey, and share their knowledge and studies on a common platform. Combustion Symposiums have been opened to international participation since the organization in 1993. The 11th Combustion Symposium, jointly organized by the International University of Sarajevo and Uludağ University, is the first symposium organized abroad.

We would be happy to have you among us as a sponsor or to contribute to the scientific objectives determined by the scope of the symposium.

Kind regards
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Salih ÖZER
Symposium Chair
