About Our Logo Cybele & Culture

The logo of our congress features Cybele, the Great Mother Goddess of Anatolia and one of the oldest and most enduring symbols of this ancient land. Revered for thousands of years as the embodiment of life, fertility, nature, and protection, Cybele represents the rich cultural heritage that has shaped Anatolia throughout history.

Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Anatolia has been home to numerous civilizations, including the Hittites, Phrygians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans. Each has contributed to a remarkable legacy of culture, knowledge, and scientific advancement that continues to inspire the world today.

By choosing Cybele as the symbol of our congress, we honor this unique heritage while embracing the values that unite the international scientific community. Just as Anatolia has served as a meeting place of civilizations for millennia, our congress aims to bring together researchers, educators, and healthcare professionals from around the world to exchange knowledge, foster collaboration, and advance science.

More than a historical figure, Cybele symbolizes continuity, wisdom, diversity, and the enduring pursuit of knowledge—values that lie at the heart of our congress and warmly welcome all participants to Türkiye.
