The International Symposium on Turkic World Studies, first hosted by Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University, has been held at various locations over the years, including Niğde (2014, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2022), Almaty (2015, 2018, 2023 – Kazakh State Women's Pedagogical University), and Baku (2016, 2019, 2023 – Baku Eurasian University).

The upcoming XII International Symposium on Turkic World Studies will be jointly organized by Baku Eurasian University, Kazakh National Women's Pedagogical University, and Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University and will take place on May 21-23, 2025, in Niğde, Türkiye.

The main theme of this year's symposium is "Cooperation in Higher Education Among Turkic States." The symposium aims to bring together scholars conducting research on the Turkic World and to discuss contemporary issues in language, literature, history, education, culture, international relations, administration, economics, philosophy, sociology, tourism, and other relevant fields. Additionally, the symposium seeks to foster collaboration through joint academic projects.

As a tradition, the "Kökümüz bir, türkük" ("Our Roots Are One, We Are Turks") Festival, held during the symposium, will strengthen historical, linguistic, and cultural ties among Turkic nations and promote cooperation across the region.
