To define the main theme of the Congress, strengthen its broader impact, and enhance its visibility, a Congress Scientific Committee consisting of 130 academics from various universities, including 20 international members, has been established. Following comprehensive evaluations conducted by the Committee, the main theme and subthemes of the Congress have been determined.

​

As a result of these deliberations, the main theme of the Congress has been designated as “The Silent Power of Health: Sleep.” The Congress is scheduled to take place on May 06–09, 2027.

​

In today's world, rapidly changing living conditions, technological advancements, increasing stress levels, irregular lifestyle habits, and environmental factors adversely affect sleep health at both individual and societal levels, making it a significant public health concern. Sleep is recognized as a fundamental biological necessity for maintaining physical, mental, cognitive, and social well-being, preventing diseases, and improving quality of life.

​

Within this framework, the Congress aims to address the preventive, protective, therapeutic, and rehabilitative dimensions of sleep health in light of recent scientific developments. It also seeks to examine sleep-related health issues through a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together researchers and experts from various fields of health sciences on a shared scientific platform.

​

Drawing upon Mardin's rich historical, cultural, and scientific heritage, the 3rd International Congress on Health Sciences, hosted by Mardin Artuklu University under the main theme “The Silent Power of Health: Sleep,” welcomes theoretical, experimental, clinical, epidemiological, applied, and interdisciplinary scientific studies in medicine, midwifery, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, nutrition and dietetics, nursing, psychology, occupational therapy, audiology, speech and language therapy, public health, healthcare management, pharmacy, dentistry, health technologies, and other related fields of health sciences.

​

The Congress aims to promote the exchange of knowledge and experience across various disciplines of health sciences, particularly in sleep health and sleep disorders, strengthen scientific collaborations, and facilitate the translation of research findings into clinical practice and improvements in public health.

​

Papers may be presented in either Turkish or English. Accepted papers may be presented in person or online, according to the authors' preferences.
