About the Congress
The rapidly changing global landscape places new responsibilities on the human and social sciences. The complex challenges emerging across diverse fields—from education to international relations, and from economics to history—can only be adequately understood through an interdisciplinary lens. In response to this need, the 7th International Symposium on Human, Society, and Sustainable Development Research offers a comprehensive scientific platform that unites multiple areas of knowledge under one roof.
The symposium aims to showcase scientific contributions that adopt a human-centered perspective, prioritize social development, and advance sustainable growth. Accordingly, it provides an inclusive environment for sharing innovative research drawn from a broad and multidisciplinary academic spectrum.
With strong academic backing from leading institutions such as Mardin Artuklu University (Türkiye) and Carthage University (Tunisia), the symposium welcomes a diverse community of participants, from emerging scholars to established experts. The event will serve as a dynamic forum for exchanging new insights, sharing field research, exploring methodological innovations, and discussing practical solutions.
📍5–9 April 2026, Cairo – The Crossroads of Science and History
The symposium will be held in Cairo, the capital of Egypt—homeland of science and one of the most ancient civilizations in human history. This major event will not only include academic presentations but also offer a unique cultural program designed to explore Egypt’s historical richness, natural beauty, and cultural heritage.
Alongside the scientific sessions, participants will enjoy cultural tours along the Nile, dinner cruises, visits to ancient temples, museum tours, and the distinctive atmosphere of Cairo—providing an unforgettable experience where science and history come together.
🌐The Universality of Science and the Diversity of Cultures: A Shared Future
This symposium invites participants to reflect comprehensively on the present and future of humanity by bringing together voices from various disciplines. The universality of science, the diversity of cultures, and the shared aspirations of societies converge on this platform.
We cordially invite you to join this significant scientific event, which not only promotes the exchange of knowledge but also opens doors to new collaborations, cultural interactions, and long-lasting academic connections. Every paper presented here serves not merely as a research contribution, but as a bridge that brings societies, cultures, and academic traditions closer together.
We look forward to meeting you on the path of knowledge for the shared future of humanity.
