UBMK 2026 - 11th International Conference on Computer Science and Engineering
📅 Wednesday, 16 September 2026 → Sunday, 20 September 2026 in 95 days
The 11th edition of Turkiye's main academic computer-science conference, held in Istanbul in September 2026 and hosted by Istanbul Beykent University. It frames artificial intelligence within a wider triangle of ethics, law and engineering while still covering the full technical stack from machine learning to security.
UBMK 2026 is the eleventh International Conference on Computer Science and Engineering (Uluslararasi Bilgisayar Bilimleri ve Muhendisligi Konferansi), one of the longest-running academic computing events in Turkiye. The 2026 edition is hosted by Istanbul Beykent University and runs alongside the periodic meeting of the Board of Computing Related Department Heads (BMBB), whose conclusions are shared with the wider Turkish academic community through the conference. This institutional backbone is part of why UBMK functions as a national reference point rather than a one-off event.
What is on the programme
The technical scope spans the modern AI and computing landscape: machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, large language models, computer vision, data security and distributed systems, with robotics and quantum computing also represented. What gives the 2026 edition a sharper identity is its emphasis on placing artificial intelligence inside questions of ethics, law and accountability. That reflects where the field has moved in 2026: the pressing questions are no longer only what models can do, but how they are governed, explained and trusted, and how regulation such as the EU AI Act ripples into national research agendas.
Why it matters
UBMK uses a formal peer-review process and an IEEE-related publication route, which positions it well above the generic AI-expo tier and makes it genuinely useful for computer scientists, AI researchers, legal-tech scholars, security researchers and public-sector digital teams. For a worldwide events directory it is also a reminder that Turkish-language academic activity around AI is substantial and easy to miss with English-only searching: while Istanbul's commercial tech fairs dominate English coverage, conferences like UBMK are where the country's AI, engineering, law and ethics communities actually converge.
