The Global Change Summit 2026 (GCS 2026) is one of the most exciting fully funded international leadership opportunities in Europe for students, professionals, entrepreneurs, and changemakers. Organized by the Organization for Global Policy & Dialogue (OGPD), this third edition will take place in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from September 25–28, 2026.

This summit is designed to bring together future leaders, policy enthusiasts, innovators, and global problem-solvers from different countries to discuss pressing world challenges and collaborate on actionable solutions.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage in:

• High-level keynote speeches
• Interactive workshops
• Leadership and policy dialogue sessions
• Innovation and sustainability discussions
• International networking opportunities
• Cross-cultural collaboration activities

The event is especially valuable for individuals building careers in:

• Leadership and governance
• Public policy
• International development
• Entrepreneurship
• Social impact consulting
• NGO and humanitarian work

Why This Summit Stands Out

One of the biggest attractions of GCS 2026 is its fully funded delegate category, which includes:

• Round-trip airfare support
• Shared accommodation
• Meals during summit hours
• Access to all workshops and sessions
• Certificate of participation
• Visa invitation support
• Program merchandise and networking events

This makes it a highly competitive and attractive opportunity for young leaders who need international exposure without financial burden.
