The Emirates Scholar Center for Research & Studies, in collaboration with the Ministry of
Tolerance & Coexistence and the Abu Dhabi Convention & Exhibition Bureau, proudly
presents the Third Edition of the 3rd International Dialogue of Civilizations & Tolerance
(IDCT 2026). This landmark global event unites governments, academic institutions,
international organizations, and corporate partners in a shared mission to foster
understanding, empathy, and coexistence in an era defined by digital transformation.

Under the theme of “Dialogue of Tolerance in the Digital Media & AI Era,” IDCT 2026
explores how technology, artificial intelligence, and media can be harnessed responsibly to
advance human values, counter misinformation, and promote ethical communication across
cultures. By bringing together thought leaders, innovators, faith representatives, and
decision-makers from around the world, IDCT 2026 reaffirms the UAE’s commitment to global
dialogue and positions Abu Dhabi as a hub for digital coexistence and intercultural
collaboration.
