Announcement: 5th International Rast Music Congress (IRMC) & 4th International Rast Music Awards

We are pleased to announce that the 5th International Rast Music Congress (IRMC) and the 4th International Rast Music Awards will be held on November 22–23, 2025, in Prishtina, Kosovo, with a hybrid format (Face-to-Face + Zoom Online).

Congress Theme: Music and Humanity
Official Language: English

This year, we have a limited quota of 36 face-to-face participants. Participants attending in person will also have the opportunity to join two full days of cultural excursions in Kosovo.

In order to be accepted as a face-to-face participant, submissions must include a full-text paper (maximum 35 pages), which will be reviewed and approved by two field-specific referees. Approved full texts will be published in the official Proceedings Book of the congress.

Online participants are also required to submit a full-text version of their presentation. Selected papers from both face-to-face and online participants will be considered for publication in Young Wise (Genç Bilge) Publishing journals.
Please note that the journal peer-review processes are independent from the congress review processes.
