Welcome to Dublin! Welcome to Ireland!
The International Academic Forum is excited to bring a conference to the Emerald Isle for the first time, to its storied capital of Dublin, and to the country’s oldest and most prestigious seat of learning.
Dublin is a global cultural centre of Celtic and Irish culture, and a modern and vibrant European capital; it boasts over a thousand years of rich but contested history from the Vikings, through times of colonisation and Empire. While often difficult and sometimes brutal, the competing domestic and foreign influences and ideas prove to be generative of a remarkable intellectual and especially literary tradition. Dublin has had an extraordinary and outsized influence on the imagination of readers and learners of the English language around the world, as the home of Joyce, Yeats, Beckett, Wilde, Shaw, Swift, Stoker, and Heaney. To this day, the enduring love of ideas is evidenced in both its world-class universities and its famous pub culture, where lively engagement and heated discussions are driven by the pints of Guinness for which Irish pubs are famous the world over. It is into this culture, and with this backdrop of keen intellectual activity and sharp-witted critical conviviality, that IAFOR will write itself!
Every year, IAFOR conferences bring together a combined 6,000 delegates from more than 125 countries to engage in its international, intercultural, and interdisciplinary conferences. Now held on three continents (Asia, Europe and North America), they are influenced and inspired by the place in which they are hosted, and offer an exceptionally diverse comparative and contrastive space for both local and global intellectual engagement and exchange.
In conjunction with our Global Partners, we look forward to meeting you in Dublin (and online) for ECAH2027.

IAFOR's Conference Themes for 2025-2029
Our selected themes for 2025-2029 bring together ideas and encourage research and synergies in the following areas:
Technology and Artificial Intelligence
Humanity and Human Intelligence
Global Citizenship and Education for Peace
Leadership
Our four themes can be seen as standalone themes, but they are also very much in conversation with each other. Themes may be seen as corollaries, complementary, or in opposition/juxtaposition with each other. The themes can be considered as widely as possible and are designed, in keeping with our mission, to encourage ideas across the disciplines.
