The Symposium has been conceived as an interdisciplinary forum bringing together leading researchers and practitioners from India, the Global South and the wider international community to present frontier work and to exchange methods and evidence. Participants will engage on human capital, inclusion, safety and trust, resilience, innovation and the use of AI for economic growth and social good.

Programming will include plenary keynotes and research dialogues, international research panels and the Global South Research and Posters Showcase. Plenary sessions are expected to explore theoretical foundations, practical applications and societal implications, while international panels will deliver short, focused presentations by global research leaders. The format aims to promote exchange so that promising innovations can be assessed for real world deployment.
