Science Summit 2026: A Global Stage for Science and Sustainability

The Science Summit is a leading worldwide event on how Science contributes to the achievements of the Sustainable Developments Goals. The event is online and in-person in New York and Nairobi, coinciding with the General Assembly of the United Nations in September 2026.

In the last year’s edition there were almost 400 sessions, 15,000 attendees from 152 different countries and more than 900 speakers. The event was rated 9.4 by the attendees.

2026 is the 13th edition of the Science Summit.

The objective is to develop and launch science collaborations to demonstrate global science mechanisms and activities to support the attainment of the SDGs, Agenda 2030 and Local2030. 

The event is an opportunity to promote the scientific excellence of your organisation amongst policy makers and to engage with the scientific community worldwide.
