About the Conference

The International Conference on Governance and Development (ICGD), since its first run in 2018, has served as a platform for exchanging ideas, sharing best practices, and fostering partnerships aimed at sustainable development through transdisciplinary actions.

This 2025, for the fourth run of ICGD, the critical role of governance in promoting global citizenship and empowering communities will be underscored. Prominent leaders and experts in the field of development will share insights on the nexus between governance, global citizenship, and community empowerment. Organized and hosted by the College of Public and Development, University of the Philippines Los Baños, in partnership with Kasetsart University (KU), ICGD 4 will be held at KU-Bangkhen Campus in Bangkok, Thailand on July 31 to August 2, 2025, with preconference workshops on July 30.
