IFERD Global Summit 2026 is the 3rd edition of IFERD’s annual flagship event, bringing together thought leaders and distinguished voices from academia, industry, policymaking, philanthropy, and society at large, both physically and virtually. The Summit provides a common platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, collaboration, and collective action to advance education, research, innovation, and sustainable societal development, while fostering partnerships and actionable solutions for a brighter and more sustainable future. During the Summit, IFERD also confers IFERD Awards upon individuals, institutions, corporate entities, non-profit organisations (NPOs), and non-government organisations (NGOs) for their significant contributions and inspiring impact on society.
