The 15^th International Conference “Standardization, Protypes and Quality: A Means of Balkan Countries’ collaboration” (October 24 - 25, 2019), which is organized by the Trakya University, will take place in Edirne, Turkey.

This conference is the 15^th in a series of International Conferences that started back in 1997 in Thessaloniki, Greece and since then, have been organized periodically in different Balkan countries. It is the first time that it will be held in Edirne and the second time in Turkey.

As is tradition, this conference will be an excellent opportunity to continue contacts between scientists and specialists from all Balkan countries, as well as from all over the world, with the purpose to exchange experience and knowledge on all issues of standardization with an emphasis focus on quality. Standardization has proved to be the ideal way to cooperation, coordination and harmonization in every human activity, in a local as well as international level. Therefore, the purpose of this conference is to facilitate the collaboration between Balkan countries through common standards and protypes.

We will be honored by your presence and contribution. We hope to meet you in 15th International Conference "Standardization, Protypes & Quality: A Means of Balkan Countries' Collaboration".
