October 29 to November 1, 2026 – Tunis (Gammarth), Tunisia

Bridging knowledge, breaking down disciplinary boundaries, mobilizing scientific research, and acting together to face global challenges!

The fifth edition of FCIERI marks a decisive turning point in the history of this event, which over the years has become an essential space for dialogue, reflection, and action for stakeholders in education and scientific research.

True to its commitment to pedagogy, innovation, and academic cooperation, this year the Forum takes a bold step by fully integrating interdisciplinary scientific conferences into its core program.

In the face of accelerated societal transformations — digital transition, climate emergency, social and economic changes — FCIERI 2026 invites participants to exchange knowledge, experiences, and expertise to better understand, anticipate, and, above all, act.

Interdisciplinarity and applied scientific research thus become the driving forces of this fifth edition. They place the cross-fertilization of knowledge and the convergence of disciplines at the service of collective reflection and action, bringing together researchers, educators, students, experts, institutional leaders, and civil society actors in a dynamic of cooperation and co-construction.

By adopting an approach based on interdisciplinary scientific research, collective intelligence, and concerted action (Boudon, 1973; d’Olson, 1978; Amblard et al., 1996), the Forum aims to propose concrete, cross-cutting, and solidarity-based responses to today’s major challenges, while opening new perspectives for the societies of tomorrow.

A redesigned edition focused on digital and sustainable transitions

The central forum on education sciences will retain its role as a major gathering point around the theme:

“Education and Skills for a Changing World: Issues and Challenges of the Digital and Sustainable Transition”

FCIERI 2026 will also feature a series of interdisciplinary thematic conferences, reflecting the diversity and complementarity of approaches needed to better understand and support the transformation of our societies:

• Conference 1:Artificial Intelligence for a Digital and Sustainable Transition
• Conference 2:Climate Change, Environmental Issues, and Energy Transition
• Conference 3:Circular Economy: Reinventing Economic Transition and the Professions of Tomorrow
• Symposium 4:Sustainable Tourism and Know-How: Exploring New Horizons
• Symposium:Reinventing Technical and Vocational Education and Training

FCIERI: At the crossroads of Tunisian, Francophone, and International dynamics

Since its creation in 2017, FCIERI has positioned itself as an innovative, unifying platform, supporting efforts to modernize and internationalize educational and academic systems in Tunisia and beyond.

Citizen voices: At the heart of the dialogue between knowledge and society

FCIERI 2026 is much more than a forum — it’s a think tank, a civic agora, and a hub of talent.

• A scientific interdisciplinary program with conferences and symposiums
• A citizen component strengthening dialogue and active participation
• A pedagogical program dedicated to training and sharing experiences among educators and trainers.
