Amid global health crises, climate change, and geopolitical instability, the world faces profound uncertainty and development challenges. Yet every crisis brings opportunities for transformation. In shaping a new global future, fundamental science stands as the greatest common denominator for global collaboration—the source of truth for human civilization and the engine of long-term human progress.

The World Governments Summit (WGS) is dedicated to exploring how governments can jointly address shared global challenges and shape the future of governance.
The World Laureates Summit (WLS or the Summit) brings together the world’s foremost scientists to promote basic science, advocate international cooperation, and support the growth of youth—providing strategic scientific insight to take on humanity’s future challenges.

In February 2026, WLS convenes alongside WGS, gathering laureates of the Nobel, Turing, Fields, and Lasker and other preeminent science honors, together with leaders from leading universities, research institutions, and industry, to confront today’s developmental challenges and those ahead.

For the first time, WLS and WGS, in Dubai, work to achieve a deep integration of science and government, creating a high-level platform for direct dialogue between global scientific leadership and governments worldwide. Through leading international media, this convergence aims to amplify the voice of science on the global stage, marking an unprecedented moment to chart humanity’s future, propel scientific discovery, and defend the global ecosystem of science.

In line with the WLA mission, WLS is more than a gathering of scientific minds; it is a renaissance for scientific civilization.
