The Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipation Summit is the leading global platform where science meets diplomacy to drive impactful change. Held annually in Geneva since 2021, the GESDA Summit convenes 1000+ scientists, diplomats, policymakers, innovators, executives and citizens to explore how cutting-edge advancements can address humanity’s most pressing challenges. From quantum computing and neurotechnology to climate action and global health, the Summit fosters high-level dialogue and strategic collaborations that transform breakthrough science into real-world solutions.
The 2026 Summit will be held from 14-16 October 2026 at Palexpo in Geneva.
The Summit aims to:
1. Deepen understanding of key scientific breakthroughs anticipated over the next 5, 10 and 25 years, with a focus on interpretation, prioritisation and implications for decision-makers.
2. Strengthen the science-policy-diplomacy interface by enabling targeted, high-level dialogue between scientists, policymakers and other key stakeholders on how emerging science translates into governance and action.
3. Catalyse multistakeholder coalitions and pathways for action, moving beyond community-building toward concrete follow-up, experimentation and impact.
Invitations will be sent in early summer 2026. If you have questions, please email summit@gesda.global
