Conference format & key facts
Organized detailsOverview
Registration remains available for the third annual UNESCO Chair on Intercultural Competences Conference in Dakar, focused on intercultural competence in African contexts.
Complete conference details
The conference runs 12–16 October 2026 at Cheikh Anta Diop University. The contribution call closed on 1 April, but the official conference page continues to invite attendee registration. Because the full-fee deadline passed on 31 August, the official fee sheet now places registrations in the late-fee period: $500 for participants from African countries, $720 for participants from the rest of the world, $450 for presenters from African countries and $670 for other presenters. Students receive a $50 discount, while Stellenbosch University and UCAD participants pay $200. The fee includes a pre-conference workshop, three days of sessions, a Gorée Island trip/tour, welcome dinner, coffee breaks, daily lunch and specified central-hotel conference transport; the 16 October tourist activity is at the participant's own cost.
Eligibility requirements
The organizers invite academics, researchers, professionals, practitioners, educators, students, innovators, leaders, artists and organizations interested in the theme. The closed contribution call is not represented as open; this listing is for attendance registration.
Tips for this conference
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Confirm whether you are registering as an attendee, speaker, poster presenter, exhibitor or scholarship/travel-grant applicant because deadlines can differ.
- For abstracts or papers, follow the exact theme, template, word limit, author format and publication rules from the official call.
- If travel is required, check invitation-letter timing, visa processing, accommodation and travel-support deadlines early.
- Review the agenda and speakers in advance and plan the sessions and people most relevant to your goals.
Verification notes
Verified on the official Stellenbosch University UNESCO Chair conference page and its official July 2026 registration-fee sheet. The main page still exposes attendee registration. The contribution deadline is closed. The fee sheet uses dollar symbols but does not explicitly label a currency code, so the structured fee and fee_currency remain null rather than assuming one universal amount/currency.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
