The Social Capital 2026 conference is an important event for the field of social capital. Please help promote the conference by sharing it with your colleagues and networks.
Below is a collection of materials that you are welcome to use to promote the conference.
We are delighted to announce that abstract submissions are now open for the International Conference on Social Capital 2026, which will take place in Dubai!
After nearly two decades without a dedicated global gathering on this topic, we are proud to bring together the community once again to advance the research and practice of social capital in all its dimensions. The response has already been overwhelming – several hundred people have pre-registered their interest during the early announcement phase.
This promises to be a landmark event in the field.
We invite you to submit abstracts across our ten thematic streams, covering topics such as health, democracy, resilience, digital networks, sustainability, education, migration, and more.
Submission deadline: September 1, 2025, at 6 PM GMT
The conference will be hosted at Heriot-Watt University Dubai, offering excellent facilities in a modern and accessible campus environment. Dubai’s central global location ensures that scholars and practitioners from around the world can join us with ease.
Please feel free to forward this invitation to your colleagues, departments, and networks. We look forward to your contributions and to welcoming you to what promises to be a vibrant and memorable conference.
