We are delighted to announce that the Social Capital 2027 Conference will take place from March 18–20, 2027 in Dubai.

Following the success of Social Capital 2026, which brought together a global community of scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, the 2027 conference will return to an in-person format in Dubai—offering an opportunity to reconnect, deepen conversations, and continue advancing the field.

There will again be a virtual participation option, ensuring that those who are unable to travel can still engage with the conference, access sessions, and contribute to discussions from anywhere in the world. Building on the experience of 2026, this hybrid approach reflects our ongoing commitment to accessibility and global inclusion.

The conference will once again provide a platform for exploring the role of social capital across disciplines and sectors. From theoretical developments and measurement approaches to applications in policy, community development, health, education, and beyond, the event will showcase cutting-edge work and foster meaningful exchange.

Dubai offers an ideal setting for this gathering. As a global hub connecting regions, disciplines, and perspectives, it reflects the very dynamics of connection and exchange that sit at the heart of social capital.

More details—including the call for abstracts, registration information, and program highlights—will be released in the coming months. We encourage you to mark your calendar now and plan to join us for what promises to be an engaging and impactful event.

We look forward to welcoming you to Dubai in March 2027.
