We are pleased to announce the 2026 edition of our UNU-MERIT Internal Conference, taking place on 24–25 September at the Belvedere and UNU-MERIT premises.

This signature event is part of our annual Research Week (21-25 September 2026) , during which we host our higher-year dual career PhD fellows. The Internal Conference brings together our full academic community—staff, PhD fellows, and researchers—to present their work, exchange ideas, and engage in meaningful discussions.

As we collectively kick off the academic year, this conference offers an important moment to welcome our new PhD cohorts, reconnect with colleagues, and explore the latest research by our higher-year fellows and academic staff.

The programme and keynote speakers can be found here.
