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.
