12 Feb 2026 CW Team

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.

The Global South Research and Posters Showcase will provide a platform for students and collaborative teams to present work that addresses regional and global challenges and to access mentorship. The track aims to highlight emerging talent and regionally tailored solutions while encouraging networks that can accelerate development and adoption. Organisers anticipate that the showcase will strengthen capacity across participating institutions.

Organisers expect the Symposium to yield clear, implementable outcomes, stronger collaboration between research institutions and decision makers, and better use of research to support responsible AI adoption.
